adb and others: Please, I apologize if I assumed the position of "arbitor of chatbook" for, no, that was not my intention at all. I just wanted to change the running theme I was making regarding scripts, etc. And yes, you all are right. Neither I nor anyone else can really change the tone of stories on Y&R, for, like Willie said earlier, they were written months ago.
And Mary Maine, Thank You. MJ may be hot, but not in my bed because she's nuts.

Hi, gang! It might be unnecessary to ask this question, but...How do you all think this long, long story's gonna turn out now that Phil III finally showed up? Caine's marriage kaput? Toss him out of town? Dress him in chains(put him in jail)? More important, I wonder what mystery Phillip is going to say to all who were aghast at his sudden appearance? And finally, When do you think they're going to find out Mary Jane's guilt in Summer's poor plight? Any words?

MaryBeth, lol. Everyone else's lives make mine look boring.

UVM has a big furry group. They cross over with some of the other avante gard (sp?) types. (As long as I don't have to dress up like a cow's a--, it might be fun.)

Wow! What an ending! And what a teaser for Monday! If I were Nina or Jill, I'd be screaming (in terror) at the top of my lungs. Makes all this shite from the past year worth the wait.

I LOVE how Kay's eyes dart from person to person, all-knowing. The only person with an inch of calm in that group is the woman who's been in the hospital. Go figure.

Murphy needs to man up and take control of that crazy situation.

What, Cane, the guilt get to you?

Well, Caine looks like a kid w/ his hand in the cookie jar. Will the true results of blood test prove Caine innocence or guilt? Before the show's over maybe we'll see.
>And Billy...
> Caine just spilled the beans. He's NOT a Phillip III(I mean a Chancellor) ? Well, what now, gang?

It's always amazing what you learn in the newspaper. This is pretty crazy. A woman was arrested (age 45) for sexual abuse of a 13 year old boy, who she kept an eye one from time to time for his mother, her friend.The boy says they slept together 4 or 5 times, and her husband called social services on his wife.
The good part, is the woman is a FURRY. They dress up in animal costumes and have parties parades conventions etc etc. Every thing xrated is moved to hotel rooms if it happens, which they swear doesn't always happen. National convention is in AUgust...Denver.

IT gives a whole new slant on the chipmunk bank robber, and all his fans after it happened. Truth is aways stranger than fiction. It's pretty funny but kind of sad for the young man.

It makes my day sound boring though.

Betty Boop how are you doing? I know what you mean about the newspapers being filled with just bad news, and yeah I think people do like it for some reason at least to a degree, it is kind of like people driving by a horrible accident and just having to look.

My favorite news is on CBS on Friday nights when they have the young reporter do the human interest stories that kind of lighten things up, and I like Sunday Morning when they show human interest stories, something funny, and the ending when they have nothing but the sounds of nature and the film of animals or an outdoor scene somewhere in the USA.

rc smiley I believe is a he not a she.I don't think he was saying that everyone should just stop writing comments about whatever they want he was just saying that no matter how much we complain what will be will be because no one on the writing staff is paying any attention.

Connie hope you and Charlie are doing well.

In case anyone is heading out for parts unknown for the 4Th let me take a moment to wish you all a Happy 4Th of July and may we all take time to remember those who have given it to us and who continue to protect and serve for us. May all those men and women be home with their loved ones for the next 4Th.

Thunder storms last night that scared our poor dog so badly. More rain today.

Who has a good diet for losing 20 lbs. in one week? PMPMP......besides amputating a few limbs? LOL Actually, I am so excited to go to the beach, I don't care about the 20 extra pounds. I'm off to buy one of those "hold-it-all-in-and-look-10-pounds-thinner" swimsuits!

About Summer and the peanut allergy.......nurse Connie you would know this.......if she is THAT allergic to peanuts, wouldn't it be a problem just having the peanut cookies in the same room? And if Phyllis touched the cookies, then touched Summer, wouldn't see still have a reaction? I thought some peanut allergies were that sensitive. But still, Mary Jane is a bitch! And thank God they now have a Summer who talks. A rock could have played Summer's part better than that last kid.
Frances
- Fri Jul 3 07:03:35 MDT 2009

Let's see...if it turns out that Summer is Jack's...what does Sharon do...tell the truth? That means Noah will find out that his dad lied about the DNA and let him believe Summer was his sister.....AND...his mother lied to him about her new baby. There....he's got grounds for "divorce"! Parents who are chronic liars and tell a lie just as easily as they tell the truth. What kind of role models are they and how can they ever teach him anything. And those stupid expressions Sharon makes when she's questioning her decision...as if she's this poor victim with the weight of the world on her shoulders!!!

Don't prosecutors sit at there desks until a case is placed in front of them. I can't believe they lurk around, eaves-dropping, in hopes of discovering crimes. Wouldn't Heather have to determine that MJ was a CREDIBLE informant before moving forward??? And...in real cases of Munchhausers by Proxy, a child would have to be in the hospital repeatedly for various reasons. Even then...they CANNOT act until they put a hidden camera in the room to catch the mother doing something to the child.

Sorry RC, but bad, bad, BAD scripts!!

My usual complaint is the switching of partners/incestual, etc. I can at least understand that because they have a limited cast. But there is no excuse for these ridiculous stories. It's like when I instant message HP with a problem. The response is always friendly and helpful but there is something slightly off...so I know that I'm communicating with someone in India. It's as if the writing on Y&R has been outsourced to Siberia!!! The current Y&R is how they think wealthy Americans behave.

Well...sorry for the rant, but Jam is right and it feels good.

Jam: You are too funny! A comedic spin is just what the show needs.

Anyway....HAVE A HAPPY AND SAFE FOUTH OF JULY!!!!

rc smiley -- i swore a couple of weeks ago i would not do this, but i have to tell you -- you are not the keeper of this chat book, so when you write "Enough with the bad script comments" it really makes me angry -- if we want to comment on the bad scripts, we will, and if you do not like it, then don't read the comment

i am sorry everyone, but rc smiley is certainly not the arbitor of right and wrong in this chat room and just because she's tired of comments on the bad scripts, it is just too bad . . .

i know i, too, am not the aribtor, but i would never suggest that we stop writing things in here just because i'm bored with the topic

Having read the post and trying to keep up, Mary Beth posted on June 30th about: "we think Summer is really Jack's child and Nick lied to Phyllis about paternity. So it goes on for a while. Maybe since she's sick they'll untie that knot"? The thought struck me.

I wonder if (and only if) Summer needs a blood transfusion, if Jack will be the only available donor, thus providing and proving his DNA?

Economic times, call for strong belt tightening no doubt. I am wondering if that is why Y&R is getting sloppy in their writing, acting and hiring of newer, less experienced actors(eses)

Ah Mr. Pinkie. All I can say is "OUCH" and I bruised my knee caps when I read that! LOL. I am curious as to why, the nurse didn't use more protection and why she did not clean up her mess? Why on earth did they make him do it? Where was the doctor, that should have prescribed an antidote to the chemo? Sheesh! And they wonder why health care is so expensive?

Frances, good to see you take TEN and post. LOL

I should know better... of course, why would Phyllis be responsible? She's the mom. But MJ yes, but I was fixed on MJ's obsession with slaughtering Jack and her venting vengeance(previously noted).

>Mary and Jam : Thanks. You confirmed my suspicions...and with more detail! You see, I don't think I watched this when Phillip's II and III were around, so I only know what i heard. All of what you said makes perfect sense, esp. with the change in ID part.

> Oh, and yes, I get the 'venting' part, and it sounds like a good "exercise" for life. LOL I just thought you all were so displeased w/ the writing (as I) that you were all considering running into the studio and "overhauling the writing staff" yourselves. LOL

Jam, I always miss your take on the stories and life. Don't be away so long. If I ever get to Atlanta, I'm gonna see you in person.

Isn't this coverage of Michael Jackson just un-f...ing bizzare? Why do our idol/entertainers all seem like they over do the drugs!!!How can we say he was a good parent? Great entertainer? when we hear how it really was? I guess it was the same with Elvis, Judy Garland, Tammie Wynette, Johnny Cash Etc ETC ETC.

smiley - don't you know that all this venting about Y&R is Pure Therapy for us watchers! We can forget our own trials and tribulation during Y&R. "Venting One's Spleen" is theraputic whether about the G.C. inhabitants or The Economy, or the weather!
IMO ther only one who vents too much and waaaaaay too loudly, is that dang Jill.

Also JMHO - The Phillip in Australia has something on Cain! Something BIG & BAD -thus he has the power to make Cain do his bidding ----- OR ELSE!!!!! Bwahahaha (my evil laugh.)

But today's show just too much - on so many levels. I just about turned it off, twice. (So there better be some LAFFS at Kay's Poolside tofuburger and punch party tomorrow. Hey, maybe Murphy will knock Jill into the Pool. Then she can huff and puff and go to her room or her wing -whatever.)

- Thu Jul 2 15:31:38 MDT 2009

I think it will come out that Jill's real son Phillip went to Australia and he (now calling himself Langley) for some reason sent Cane to Genoa City to be him. I think Phillip left by way of making it look like an accident so that perhaps he could live a life that was of his making not Jill's , Kay's or Nina's and maybe he thought that if he stayed they would have been unable to accept his life. I know that in real life the Langley actor is gay and that his mother was killed by his brother who had mental issues and another brother also died. When he got done the show he was sorry that he hadn't come out about himself to perhaps help others while he was on the show, but then he was being tooted as a heart throb to the younger viewers.I think perhaps that is why the Adam, Rafe storyline is coming to life.

"""Well, Phyllis is gonna get nailed for her actions, eh? We know she poisoned Summer to venge Sharon for taking Nick away, right?"""

Phyllis did nothing - it was all Mary Jane. How in the H*** are they going to prove that. Phyllis does not deserve this, she has done nothing wrong.

What is wrong with Cane's blood - it was frozen? It had ice crystals in it? Dah......maybe this will end soon. I agree with earlier posts....We were lead to believe that Cane just came to GC looking for his mother - no diabolical plan - did he have the blood when he met Amber? We were lead to believe that Amber was the one that lead him to Katherine and Jill.

I am so sick of all this DNA stuff..........when will it end.

Phyllis didn't poison her daughter, MJ (Mary Jane) took the cookies that contained peanuts out of the trash where Phyllis had place them and proceeded to much some down and then kissed Summer so that she would have a reaction.

she's vengent and angry.

Enough with the bad script comments. Seemingly, our, or even just my opinions aren't gonna change things much.

> So Mary Jane found the marriage invite from the 80's, huh? She seemed awassh in tears from the memories. And then she attempts comfort from a bottle and pills? She's not wired all that well.
What difference do you all think Nina's news about DNA report is going

My head is spinning from ONCE AGAIN trying to play catch up with Y&R and the chatbook.....

Okay, first of all.....THIS IS DIRECTED TO YOU CONNIE!!!!!!!!! I have been an awful friend and I apologize! But please please please. Next time you have news like you did about Charlie's heart atack, please email me. I may not have time to read this chatbook like I should but I always check email. I so sorry Charlie had a heart attack. I do keep you both in my prayers at night, so I had him covered even though I didn't know. (((HUGS)))

Happy Belated birthday to emelie and Toots!!!!!!!! Sorry I missed them.

Hello to all newbies!

MaryW.... How is Chester? Still hanging in? I re-skimmed over the posts and didn't see anything other than he was sick.

Okay....Y&R....

I just knew Sharon was going to hide the truth from Nick when she opened the envelope without him.

Not sure about the new Adam. Guess I'll get used to him.

The show is getting on my nerves. This money thing with Jill.....she had ALL her money in one bank? I just don't understand that.

oh, and Mary Jane with the dead cat. Okay, she killed the cat. Then she had it stuffed or freeze-dried (You can do that)...??? I'm guessing that would take months to have done. Wasn't the cat alive on the show at first? I forget.

We took Casie to Johnson & Wales in Rhode Island last weekend. She liked it a lot. I fell in love with Providence. I could live on Federal Hill........20 Italian restaurants on one street! I needed 3 weeks there instead of 3 days!

But that trip will forever be associated with Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson's deaths. OMG! I love Farrah. But I knew she didn't have long. So sad. But Michael Jackson!?? As strange as he has become, I never thought he'd die at 50! Watching all the news about him and all the videos again on TV, I remember now just how great a performer he was. You know, he was getting ready to tour. And I hate that he died. Just like John Lennon. We will never know what else they would have done if their lives weren't ended too soon. It totally sucks!

We are off to the beach from the 11th through the 18th. I cannot wait. I'm sick of typing and cleaning the freaking house! PMPMP

Ok Redmond Fawcett had to be shackled to see his Mother Farrah and he just took Drugs... Jena is accused of far worse and she can leave the court un cuffed.. amazing..

Jill should be the one to Stroke out she is Such a Bitch right up their with Phylass and Mj ..But Mj needs to be hung with Adam what scum bags they both are .. as for Billy & Mack Yawnnnn I don't like her or i should say the actress she just doesn't have that believable Mack factor. She LOOKS to old,, Billy is so good looking and I do wish he would of tried harder with Chloe ,,
The Humidity here has turned on and when it was 102 ' it wasnt as bad as it is now at 98' with humidity,, I'm just a puddle of sweat these days ..

Nurse Connie hows Charlie? better i pray..
Mr P had a bad experience with his cancer treatment .they burnt him on his (Hoo Hoo) & the Boys!! and it has been a very painful 2 weeks . 2nd degree burns from the chemo solution .. weeks before the nurse drop a vile and came in with a haze mat outfit on.. they drip solution of Mr P and gave him a damp towel to clean up with.. i said they should of been applying Vaseline on him before the procedure for protection but they didn't .. he looks like those monkeys with the Red Butts and walks like he has a bowling ball between his legs .. they swelled up real bad ,.. More then you need to know but just wanted to tell what happens in real life.. with incompetent people ... he is on the mend thank God for Desitin cream & Vicodin,, every thing else we used burned him even more .. Aloe didn't even help .. Ok nuff said If Mr knew that i just posted this he would crawl under a rock .. Ssshhh Dont tell anyone ^ g ^ ,,,,

Puddle of Sweat in Az - Wed Jul 1 21:43:06 MDT 2009

Jam, Pamela, Ladybug, Willie : Yes to what you all wrote. This writing on Y&R just doesn't seem to hold water. The story lines go on too long while many of them don't make any logical sense. If Phillip 3 was supposed to be burned to a crisp, and the casket was empty, what happened to the burnt one, just ashes or not? (burials are supposed to be properly recorded; it's not that long ago). If the body was switched where the #$**&! is Phillip? I'm keeping my argument.
Oh yes, why doesn't Jill bury the hatchet already?
I think after Mr. Bell passed away and the damage of the writers' strike, every thing has gone downhill.

I can barely figure out what's what, who's with who, who is or isn't pregnant, or by Whom...much less, why does Cain have an unlocked little chest freezer in the bar's storage room where ANYONE could look into it and see v-i-a-l-s of b-l-o-o-d!!
Or furthermore, how remotely possible is it that Rich Cain, Rich Lily, and tree-hugging peachnik MacKenzie, ALL just take to the lifestlye et.al of a sleazy country-road bar -as IF it is the most
logical place for the 3 of them to end up????? I am flummoxed.

And how come Jill isn't the one who's had a few mini-strokes, the way
she is almost daily screaming and screaching at Catherine -screaming
til her neck veins bulge and quiver, jeeeeeeez.
And there are just too many Phillips. I need a Pie Chart!!

Atlanta - Wed Jul 1 19:23:00 MDT 2009

Like lady bug, it's the bad scripts that are getting to me.

I don't care if the story lines are dark. I like them that way, anyway. Makes them interesting. But the writers area all over the map. It's time to tighten up the Adam story, let someone find his Botox, and then put that person in danger, then wrap it up.

Never trusted Cane. Not even from the start. Did any of you? Just curious.

Lily Winters? Ho hum. Don't like the princess types. BOring. Sharon, Ashley, the same. So glad Tricia Cast is back to give at least one of the women on this show an edge. Phyllis needs her mojo back. Hopefully she'll get it once she's out of legal trouble (Heather) and figures out MJ. Heather's self righteousness continues to grate on me. She's certainly not her mother's daughter (and I wouldn't want her to be, but she's a biyatch).

I just read that voices can be surgically altered, just like faces I didn't know that.

I think Y&R belongs to the women these days, even if writers don't seem to know what to do. This show was never tightly written, but it's getting ridiculous. Give me the dark side (yes, it seems to going gothic), but give me good writing.
Pamela
Cow Town, VT - Wed Jul 1 16:54:34 MDT 2009

Willie: You are absolutely right. It's all bad news in GC. What really gets to me though is that they insult our intelligence with the bad writing. They come up with ideas and then use the flimsiest, most illogical motives. If they want Cane found out, why not come up with a clever way that actually makes sense. It would have made perfect sense for Nina to come to town because of the Huntingtons thing. And then, in that effort to have gradually found stuff about Cane, maybe after she'd befriended him, because she is suppose to be a nice person. But, she comes to do a screenplay...really stupid. Then goes after Cane like a rabid dog with little evidence and mostly her "good instincts". THEN...it's about the Huntingtons. It's like the writer's realized that there was no good reason to exume the body and used that excuse as an afterthought. Even now, she seems way more concerned with nailing Cane and her long dead husband's legacy than she does about her son's health issues.

- Wed Jul 1 15:13:35 MDT 2009

I am getting a general feeling of malaise and disappointment about many of the plot lines, as others here have also expressed. Almost all of them seem to lead to bad outcomes, whether it's Sharon lying about the baby's paternity, or Adam's continuing evil saga, now complicated by his bi-sexuality. We also have the impending revelations about Cane which will likely ruin what was arguably the best relationship among the young couples- Lily is such an appealing young actress that it makes me flinch to think of all the additional heartache that seems to be in store. And we have Jill castigating Catherine, the grubby Gloria and Jeffrey trying to blackmail Victor, the enigmatic MJ whose part obviously will turn out badly, on and on.
Does anyone see a story line with the potential to make us feel good about watching this show? I don't.

Cactus: I agree with you about Sharon...she is beyond stupid. Nick is going to suffer over Summer regardless of what she does, yet she's stuck on this idea that she's going to help him. How does it help when she can see how disappointed he is that the baby is "not" his. Is she going to allow him to forever believe that he is not the father...and lie to the child about her father...and lie to Jack, letting him believe he is the father. Part of good stories is to be sympathetic toward characters...how can we be sympathetic toward Sharon. I can't!

Hello, everyone! Haven't had a working computer for a while and don't get to watch TV much during the summer, so just a quick visit. I am disgusted that Sharon has now flipped again, let's see what has happened by September!

Our Govenor General Her Excellency the Right Honorable Michaelle Jean says about Canada Day:(in part) But why do we come together every year on this day? What are we really celebrating on July 1st?

Yes, the 140th anniversary of Canada … But first, we are celebrating the bonds of solidarity and friendship that helped create this country. Those bonds are embedded in our hearts. Because here in Canada, we help people when they are suffering. In Canada, our differences enrich us as a people. In Canada, what is good for one person is good for everyone. And these bonds of solidarity and friendship grow stronger every day because we live in an ideal of justice and freedom that is the envy of the entire world. We cannot overstate how lucky we are to be able to think, speak, choose, act, and live in complete freedom; not when barbarism and misery affect so many countries and people around the world. On this July 1st, let us reflect on the message of hope that we, as Canadians, bring to the world. Let us also remember the commitment of our soldiers and the difficult missions they are leading in Afghanistan and elsewhere. Let us remember their families and loved ones. They achieved remarkable things because they believed in their ability to reinvent life, help society move forward, and change the course of history. They represent the very best of us. I would like to take the opportunity, on this Canada Day, to issue a challenge to all the young people here and everywhere across the country. You have the ability to look at the world with fresh eyes. Do not set yourselves any limits. Dream big. Be daring. Act.
On this July 1st, let us celebrate all these dreams, all these everyday actions, all these projects and all these achievements. Let us strengthen the bonds of solidarity that make Canada the generous country we love ....................(and more)

Well Willie, we think Summer is really Jack's childe and Nick lied to Phyllis about paternity. So it goes on for a while. Maybe since she's sick they'll untie that knot.

Mary, HQ and I think that your post about gays was right on! You have been very articulate and have said just about all that needs to be said. Congratulations.

Now they've done one more very stupid thing-having Sharon tell Jack he is the baby's father. For Pete's sake, how long do they think this can last? Come to think of it, that's why they did it-because it creates a whole new mess-ed up story line that will bring trauma to many of these characters for as long as they want to keep it up.

Hello , has anyone ever wonder why there is so much bad news in the news paper...Could it be that we as humans thrive on bad news,,,,I take the morning paper 7days a week...I start reading, and keep track of the bad news//which is almost all there is in the morning paper...I wounder what would happen if the news paper for one day would print only GOOD news.. Happy stuff...I think most of us would get so bored...and maybe even stop the news paper...Just a thought!all I can say is "It's to bad that we humans are like that...On the other hand if we were to read that We, me , had won a million dollors that's different right?

I just had an AH HA moment. Shoe is in Vancouver and adb is in Seattle. I had that totally mixed up.

Lady Bug, I totally agree with you about Wes on the Bachelorette I think his scruffy beard and unkempt hair and his glassy eyes make him look so scary and unpredictable.I told my son he looks stoned, and my son said,"you say that about a lot of people mom."I always wonder if they kept him on to make a "character" part of her story.I was sad to see Jake go. LOL then in the teaser for next week,he rides up on his white stallion with his navy whites on ready to say the day. All of the families were interesting and made her love the guys more. Surely she really has a favorite by now. BUT ALLL THE KISSING...wouldn't that get a little Ucky after a while? And do they just KISS for the Camera?

On a spoiler site they said now Paul knows, like millions of YR viewers have already guessed, MJ is Patty.She is such a mess. I wonder if we'll ever see Mary(their mom) again. It would make sense to have her appear, so TPTB probably won't do it.
Noah certainly has reason to ditch the parents. He'd be better off with Victor or Nikki.
I guess Ashley will continue to be PREGNANT until she's 9 months along???? I guess wh have had stories drag on longer.
Have a good Tuesday all.

Well, the deal about the first Adam walking off the set because of the "kiss" between him and Rafe turned out to be nothing. No kiss. Sure, more than that was implied, but they didn't really show anything. Guess he thought it might affect his reputation and that people would think he is gay in real life?????? Oh well, he was a better Adam. I would rather see the old Adam get what's coming to him, than the new Adam. Haven't had a chance to really dislike him yet, but the old Adam, yes!!! It would seem like he really deserved getting caught, etc. if it was the old Adam!

I wondered why Mary Jane would want to get Nick and Phyllis back together, since it would leave Sharon open for Jack. She is more of a threat than Phyllis! Oh well, MJ is nuts, so I guess there is no explaining her actions.

I guess Victor figured out that the "stuffed" cat is really a stuffed cat! Ha! He wouldn't touch it.

Although I believe that Noah doesn't have "grounds" to divorce his parents, it's weird how they seem to almost ignore his existence. Didn't Sharon give him a thought when making her mental decision to lie and remember that she just made him a promise and that he is already so confused by their actions. Why would she put Nick first. Sure, he's having a hard time, but he's an adult and is suppose to handle it. Sharon is suppose to look after her children first. This tangled web is getting sooooooooo tiresome. Makes the gay story almost refreshing!!

Then there's Mary Jane...what she did was so, so bad, but it was stupid too. Getting Nick and Phyllis back means that Sharon is now available and Sharon is a MUCH bigger threat to her and Jack than Phyllis...because Jack loves Sharon.

"The Bachelorette"...I'm glad Ed is back. Whether she picks Wes in the end or not, I hate that he's getting all this air time.

Victor seems to have softened his tone as he speaks to his wife( maybe Sabrina had that affect on him), showing his genuine care for Ashley and respecting the wishes of his son and daughter-in-law.
Sharon would help Nick best by staying away from Phyllis and he. Too bad though that Phyl doesn't know that MJ was behind this evil scheme.
Happy zipper Billy can't seem to realize that the only one that could have truly loved him is Chloe, if, that is he took responsiblity, no?
Nick seems to be relaying this consoling of Phyllis becoause of his guilt of losing Cassie. But Phyllis seems to be feeling sorry for herself and losing focus on her daughter.

IT's not always the prettiest of pictures in GC and the happy and unhappy stories seem to go with all the characters. Adam is one caniving dude. It's true, he'd use anything to get his way. New Adam still has a ways to go in his acting career. Maybe Nick's acting coach could work with him.

Summer is finally here in Fort Collins. - Mon Jun 29 08:35:21 MDT 2009

We had a nice day Friday camping, however here at home there were thunder storms and Sat. turned out beautiful with rain at night that is still going. Fireman and I enjoyed the break.

As far as the storyline moving along, I thought they were skipping along much faster than they had in the past, especially when they did the Reliquary storyline, I had thought that would never end.

The following is my opinion and I am just stating it not needing any replies and not meaning to cause any commotion as can sometimes occur in the chat book.

I don't personally care if a same sex storyline is done, in the real world it has been happening (and soaps reflect real life, at least to a degree!), and I have known and still know several people who are in a gay relationship and they have led decent lives, had jobs, maintained nice homes,been good members of the community, loved their relatives (even though some of them have not had that love in return once they came out). I can not understand parents not wanting anything to do with their children if they are gay after they have carried them within themselves, waited for their arrival,nurtured them and watched them grow. I believe God created them as he created everyone else in this world and that your children and family deserve unconditional love. No one's path in life is easy for some reason or another, and I have seen how difficult some of these people's lives can be, even in procuring a job or having friendships.

They may kiss, they may show them in bed! However, I don't think you will see any actual sex going on, because after all it is ACTING , the girl who plays Mac is playing the straight love scenes and she is lesbian. Rock Hudson who I loved and thought was the perfect leading man had to live in secrecy and die in shame, which I always thought was horrible. I can not imagine having to live with that type of struggle every day of your life.So I guess I would say that maybe it is good that gay people are starting to see stories involving their lifestyle, because I know their are many that watch these stories and just maybe some of the rest of us will understand a little better.

My parents used to impress upon me how lucky I was not to be poor, not to be handicapped and to be kind to kids I went to school with who were and to respect the difference in people from their handicaps to the color of their skin, economic situation etc. I guess if one is so bothered by this type of storyline one should consider themselves lucky and in their case I hope they never hurt a loved one unknowingly by saying something about gays or have a child who is gay.As the song says "Everyone is beautiful in their own way".

Actually, I think Nick and Sharon belong together; the veritable "soul mates".
Regarding soul mates, is MJ attempting to regain Jack instead of, or in addition to, being Victor's tool to bring down Jack? And as Willie said, Mary Jane's actions to Summer were reprehesible.

Lest anyone misunderstand-when I mentioned the gay plot bit being a wild plot mess, I didn't mean that they should avoid gay story lines, I just object to the haphazard way they go about introducing changes occasionally. For the record, HQ and I think everybody should be treated the same.

If Nick and Sharon's house deal goes thru, they'll have to build another set. If they're not careful, Y&R will be spilling out from CBS studios into the next-door Farmers' Market, where HQ and I used to enjoy Mexican food and fresh baked bread, back in the day.

I think it's good that they added a couple of gay characters. The Y&R finally enters this century. I hope they don't ruin it by being condescending (sp?) about Rafe. Didn't "Chloe" play a lesbian on another soap? I don't know why it's bothering a couple of the men here (I'm assuming one of them is a man, maybe not). But in my limited country girl experience, men are more put off about gay then women are.

I think Clementine Ford isn't as talented as she is pretty. When she did that laughter trip down memory lane with her high school yearbook, something was missing.

I did a Google on "MJ," and it seems like this is the role that will really make the actress's career.

No, I disagree. Noah is honest about wanting emancipation, it's not all about Eden. Now, if only one of my own teens would ask for it ;)

What MJ did to Summer is unbelievable and incredibly cruel-hazarding a child's life for whatever it is she intends, which seems kind of vague to me. The PTB seem determined to subject viewers to characters like MJ and Adam, who are totally amoral and vicious. And this gay bit- another wild plot mess!

I'm glad they've decided to downplay Victoria's ranting about Victor's lack of concern for Sabrina's memory. It would be nice, though, if they would give Victoria and JT a real plot line of their own, one that keeps them together doing something interesting. Do you-all think that's possible?

Mary W: Sorry about Chester...prays to him and you.
Regarding "The Bachelorette"...WOW...I was SHOCKED she let Jake go! She's crazy! Yes, she's pretty and sweet, but a little naive, I think. Then she keeps Wes, who she has acknowledged came for his career. And the guy who said "I don't know how things will work out, they just will" that's mature! Considering the success rate...only one couple has survived...you'd think she would try and get as close to perfect as possible, instead of starting out with problems...hoping they'll magically work themselves out. In the previews it looked like something came back...maybe it's Jake. If not, I'll definitely vote for him to be the next bachelor. I don't know where to vote, probably on the website.

Okay...this is very nit picky, but says a lot about the writing: I thought it SO ODD that Nikki referred to "Ashley and her unborn child". Has anyone here EVER heard of anyone referring the the baby of a pregnant woman as an "unborn child". That's a term generally used in a crime situation, as with Lacey Peterson. In everyday life, you call it...he, she or the baby...or "Ashley and the baby". The fact that it's unborn is kind of obvious.

Y&R's been weird lately. Everything with Adam and the Phillips= weird and confusing. I love how they just drop off storylines along with characters: Example, Victor asking JT to find dirt on Colleen POOF gone. And apparently Colleen gone, too.

Bachelorette: How could she dismiss Jake? What's not to like? Does anyone who watches Bachelor know how to nominate someone from the show for the next show? Cuz Jake should be the next Bachelor!! Can you imagine how many women would apply for that show, LOL

Nurse Connie I was sorry to read about your Charlie, hope all is well.

Started with seizures, then roundworm, then colitis, then bladder infection, then vomiting, weight loss, then ulcers, then he won't eat or drink, and everything snowballed. I've got him on several meds including administering lactated ringers at home. Has dehydration and a bad BUN level from blood test. NC I'm sure you know what that all means, I'm learning.

Regarding the old Adam....I don't see why playing the part of a gay person is cause to quit. He is an ACTOR after all. (As I recall, neither Heath Ledger's or Jake Gyllenhaal's careers were hurt by their "Brokeback Mountain" roles. Quite the contrary. I LOVED that movie. One of the most beautiful love stories ever.) I also don't think there is anything immoral about being gay. Intolerance is immoral. What Adam did to Ashley was immoral.

rcsmiley, I'm sure Estella is innocent. We all saw Adam dressed up as Sabrina to scare Ashley and it would hardly be possible that there are 2 people trying to intimidate her. What I still can't figure out is why Adam has been doing all this. Even if Victor believed Ashley was going nuts, what good would that do him? Either he stays on house arrest or goes back to prison-period.
And MJ sure looks young enough to get pregnant.

Several posts indicate things have happened we haven't seen yet-like MJ and Summer and Adam and Rafe. Hopefully, today will do it. The idea of Adam being gay has me puzzled. Where can they be going with all this?
Willie

Just saw- Adam's commentary as he spoke to himself kind of explained how he really felt about his situation. It's fitting, I think, a picture of his blind mother would bring that out; a picture that he saw.
And I guess you all know Mary Jane is gonna use that peanut candy to sicken Summer. How diabolic, huh? Maybe her loose screws have an evil purpose.
Concerning Nick and his unborn daughter: don't be surprised if she's his former wife's and not Sharon's. Just hope Nick doesn't get killed in a car accident.

This new Adam, though maybe expected, doesn't at first seem doing as good the previous one. But like one of you noted, the actor's portrayal may grow on us. Who knows?

Sorry to hear about Farrah Fawcett, she fought so hard to live and to retain her dignity. I know Michael Jackson had his problems, but I admired the entertainer that he was. When he was little, what a cutie, and when he moon danced it was watching perfection.

i cannot imagine that the writers of Y&R are going to have a full time character who is blind (hope was a sort of temporary character)

LOL Wow, RC you would have gone crazy, they played a lot of Blind Faith, and a few Cream songs. Downer for me......he played acoustic Layla. I wanted him to jam with Steve Winwood on electric! Plus (I knew this about Eric), he is not a showman, except in his playing. He never spoke to the audience, never moved except to tap his foot. So for me at times, it seemed like the same ole, over and over. Everyone sat down and listened till Cocaine, and people went crazy. Crowd age, us old coots. LOL A few 30's but mostly 50's and 60's. All said and done, it was a wonderful concert.

Later - I might watch Y&R today, dunno

Adam didn't get to inject his eyes so the doctor noticed where he had injected his eyes before and also said that he has the same disease that his mother had and that because of the previous injections in his eyes he won't be able to receive treatment so he will become permently blind.

The SUN is OUT!!!

Willie: You are right. I have a friend who works in a prison. If they are able to get a syringe and drugs...which they are....they will use it on themselves to get high...not waste it to hurt someone else. They have many other weapons for that, including their own hands.

I did not see yesterday...what happened? Did Adam get something to put in his eyes to make then temporarily bad...or was he examined "as is" and told he was going blind.

Jean from Houston - what is younger than you? I've been watching this show since 1973, at that time I was 16. Besides I didn't type that I copy and pasted it from another message board.....

RC smiley you state "Kay lied to protect her son from Jill. (I think)" who is Kay's son?

After the Dr. examined Adam and said that he will go blind really serves him right. I realize a new Adam is coming on but I'm not sure where they will go with that storyline.

Karla, after reading your post, I am totally out to sea in a leaky canoe with no paddle! Your ability to put all this together is amazing but has only led me to decide I will never recall enough about all this to understand it. HQ just chimed in to remind me that we were busy running our little bookstore in Huntington Beach, CA during all this stuff. Her mother, who lived with us, saw it all and actually got us interested in the show but she is now long gone, sadly.
To change the subject, here we go again with a character acting really stupid! Apparently, Victor is going to believe Adam's story about prison inmates injecting stuff into his eyeball! And now that Adam really is going blind, all is forgiven and Ashley is fawning over the poor slob. Can a rational person believe that prison inmates would go to the trouble (and danger) of getting a syringe full of some drug just to inject Adam? Why? Wouldn't they be much more likely to beat the crap out of him, or even kill him, if he bothered them? This plot point suggests much more sophistication and intelligence by inmates than would seem normal. So Victor accepts it? Whew!

But to answer ur questions: Cane and Phil3 are in on this thing, and yes, Kay knows about it. She must; why would she comfort Caine's concerns?
Violet I don't know from Eve.(too long ago) The faked death only writers know.
Kay lied to protect her son from Jill. (I think)

Y&R - Haven't watched the last two days.....not going to waste my time right now.

MaryB - Oh, my yes Dan's going. Yes traffic is a bitch when leaving a concert. Paul McCartney we stayed at the hotel across from the arena. Valen Halen we took the limo...we called right when it was over and he was waiting for us at the curb, and we zoomed off. This time I'm taking the bus in (Dan works 10 minutes from the arena), and we are going to valet park in the hotels parking garage. So we shall see if we get out easily. Hmmm.

karla - I"m just guessing here, but are you a little younger than most of us on here. Why I'm asking, is because younger people type like they are texting someone. I think MaryW is the youngest of the bunch right now....so just curious. Take no offense.

IT'S ABOUT TIME VICTOR QUIT THE SABRINA WORSHIP. I hear Adam may have gotten major KARMA for what's going on. How will Victor ever atone for his treatment of Mrs. Martinez.

Lol about the concert Jean, YOU MEAN DAN WON'T GO WITH YOU? I might send a driver for you after the concert.Worst part of concerts, getting out of the parking lot after.

Age on soaps are all fake - so don't try and figure out ages. Found this on another board also......this gives me a headache.

"P3 was 18 when P4 was born. He died a year later when he was 19. That was 1989. So 20 years later he would now be 38. His birthday is in december. P4 was born in 1988,so he is 21 now. Cane is 32 and he is supposed to be the real P3,so that means he was 12 when he had his son. None of this makes any sense. Why didn't they just make Cane 36 when he showed up on the show in 2007? This s/l would make a lot more sense if they did. This is what is on P3's bio-Born December 25, 1976. Returned from boarding school in 1986 and was aged to 16. Thought to have died in 1989 at age 19. If you go by this then he should have been born in 1970 not 1976. The 76 date would make him 32 now, but he couldn't have a 21 year old son. He would have been 10 in 86 not 16 and 13 when he died not 19 and 12 when P4 was born.Like i said they have really screwed this one up IMO. "

You know I never thought much about the age difference between Cane and Lily - but this made me think. He should be about 20 years older than her and has a son her age if he is suppose to be P3. That is creepy. Any thoughts on this.....

It appears Abby's character was designed solely for the HNG's out there. There is nothing likeable about her personality at all. I don't like her smile.

I found this on another message board and thought it was interesting ...........Any comments people..Especially how and why did P3 fake is own death.

i looked and didnt find anything on this subject so figured id start a new one. ive done a lot of thinkin around whats goin on with the cane/phillip 3 situation and actually jotted down some ideas on paper. here's what i came up with (PLZ ADD TO THIS IF U FEEL I'VE FORGOTTEN ANYTHING)........

FACTS:
-cane's hidin sumtin with p3
-p3's body nor any body was ever in the casket
-p3's alive and only cane and himself know it (besides us viewers of course)
-kay acts very strange around the p3 subject
-p3 might be jill's son
-violet wasn't even in GC durin baby switch since she was in AZ fightin for her life
-cane uses p3's blood for dna test
-there may not have been any baby switch to begin with
-cane has loads of money and passport in locked safe
-violet died in AZ shortly after cane's birth
-violet's bro langley raised cane after her death
-langley = p3
-langley is bartender in australia and cane is bartender in GC
-cane seems to hate his past but loves his present with lily
-p3 and p4 r possibly gay (not with each other...EW)

WHAT WE WANNA KNOW:
-what is cane and p3's plan?
-is kay involved in it at all?
-who is violet and since she was in AZ durin baby switch, who did kay give baby to?
-y and how did p3 fake his death and run off?
-if babies were never switched, y did kay lie about it?
-is p3 on his way to GC like it says in spoiler (it makes sense since he wont answer cane's calls)?

Okay, Y&R, I would have to think....Okay, when Casie died I blubbered like a baby, and when Mrs C recgonized Amber. Many others, but I don't remember at the moment. I cry like Frances if someone wins a car on the Price is right. Soooo, I swing both ways.....just don't piss me off and then meet me in a dark alley. LOLOLOL

I agree with all of you: this dragging, illogical, impractical story line has got to get wrapped up and thrown away for a new storyline. Why don't they let, for once, the happy couples,like Victoria and JT, and Victor and Ashley, maybe even Michael and Lauren remain the happy couples in that screwed up town. *Ahem* By 'happy' I mean staying together despite the craziness around them. That's possible, isn't it?
Well, maybe that's not reality, either, huh?

Heather's conduct in the courtroom was so totally unbelievable that the PTB must be taking something illegal! Does anyone actually believe that a judge would permit an attorney to lounge comfortably resting her arm on the bench? That was incredible-and she and Michael kept on arguing as if the judge wasn't even there! What kind of people produce and direct this mess that they would allow this? I am stunned! It tops all we've complained about so far.

And now we have to go through Victoria's ranting and raving about Victor ignoring Sabrina? Please! They're grasping at straws now to create conflict. And of course, this strains Victoria's relationship with her husband- are they going to sabotage that marriage too? Holy Toledo!!!

Isn't it just amazing this show can consistently write shows that make us want to tear their hair out? Now that's a talent in itself.
They keep us constantly irritated with a myriad of impossible minutia. Gone are the days of a few warm fuzzies that only Jean would hate. Gone are the days where TOots is proud of the characters internal fortitude.We haven't had a SHOW where fashion or design would blow Jam's sox off. But we continue to watch, loyal and faithful, with hope upon hope these little bonuses will come.

Mary I hope your rain stops. I guess Fireman finished the YURT.
We had a gully washer last night with tornado warnings at 10:30 at NIGHT. That is so unusual, usually this kind of storm hits about 4:00 pm.

Connie, I'm hoping you and Charlie are doing good. I know you are worried.

MaryW how is the baby? She must be smiling up a storm now. Wait until that first chuckle comes. You can't believe your ears.

For crying out loud, how many times is one of them going to be arrested!!! The preview showing Sharron and Nick in bed, yet again....another getting old!!!!!!!!!! Hey, believe this or not, I look forward to bringing back Glo, William, and Jill to try to get their money back!!!

Good news, nurse connie. Here's hoping things continue getting better!

Karla, you have been echoing my thoughts! It is really ridiculous how they're handling this Adam thing. As you say, what kind of motive would cause him to act this way? And one point I haven't seen mentioned here is the fact that apparently, Adam can read a computer monitor, though supposedly blind. You can't read braille with your fingers on a smooth screen, and the print size on a computer screen is not all that big, usually. So why hasn't Victor wondered about that? And by now, several of us have reiterated, why didn't Victor just take the damn computer and have it analyzed? Surely, the great man must realize there is NO plausible explanation for Sabrina's words being on that computer. Absolutely none!

And yes, HQ and I are just as hooked as you are! (That's my wife).

This is ridiculous? What is the point of Adam's actions? Does he feel this is the way to get back at Victor by hurting the woman he loves and an innocent baby? The Phillip III storyline is getting more and more ridiculous - he has a drunk driving accident, is on his death bed and he gets up and runs away from everything. It just doesn't make any sense. How long are they going to drag this on.....? Fans that have watched for years and years remember the past and this is just all so contradicting. They bury people without knowing if there are bodies in them. I will never quit watching because I am hooked and I want to see where they go with all the crazy storylines. See you next time.

Hi, Mary, Pamela, Ladybug: I stand(sit) corrected. I guess it was incomprehensible that Hope could birth such a lousy son. But his bitterness, I guess is his driving force, in spite of, as you said, ladybug, how Victor gave him the best money could buy, even with his current behavior.
I guess my question re: Lily's age and the liquor was based on two things. I forgot how old Lily is and thought she was younger; and when I was a teen while my uncle ran a bar & grill in Bay Shore, Long Island, I was not allowed to even be near the bar so just kept stuffing quarters in the jukebox and drank CocaCola.

Virginia Beach, VA - Sun Jun 21 15:40:31 MDT 2009

nurse connie, here's hoping that Charlie will get much better soon!

ladybug, I agree, Hope was such a wonderful person that it's hard to envision her son being such a rat. And they throw around DNA results like pingpong balls. It doesn't help the public's regard for these almost always accurate results to have them handled so cavalierly. Yet I still remember the Simpson jury disregarding DNA evidence on blood found at the scene and elsewhere. Wasn't it stated that the odds of a mistake were many millions to one? So, it happens.

several of you have commented about the quality of the writing. Of course, the writers write the stuff the producers and directors want and I would bet some of them hold their noses while trying to make sense of all the messy plot points on Y&R. The discouraging thing about this soap lately is that the stuff we're seeing now was planned out probably months ago and we still have to expect more of the same for some time yet. No way that any of our complaints will cause any revisions.

It is a sun shinning day here...home long enough to wash the stink off and gather a few things.
Report...he did have another Inferior (back side of the heart) with noted more muscle damage. The graft that was 70% in Nov that he was going to watch turned to 99% blocked gave the doc a very difficult time placing a stent (metal mesh) to hold the artery open...he is still swollen with edema (fluid) from all the fluids from his procedure and his general condition...his blood pressure is still slightly elevated and they are watching that (he has had two mini strokes in the past) he is being moved this morning from the critical care unit to a stepdown unit where I can go as I please...whoever mentioned him wanting porkchops and taters I wished he would ask for them...so far his appetite hasn't kicked in yet...that's a true sign (*_*)...also his sugars are bouncing all over the place so close watch on that also...
Words can not express the love I feel for your thoughts, prayers and concerns for both of us...thanks

Let's hope that this fresh new day sees Charlie getting better and better, complaining about hospital food, and insisting Connie bring him some pork chops and taters.

Karla: I've been complaining about the DNA for a while. I understand literary license, suspension of disbief and all that, but to play around with DNA results all the time is really lazy writing and irresponsible because it misleads the viewing public. They are mostly accurate and reliable. Why do they even bother to get the tests when they are wrong half the time. How are Nina's tests going to be considered accurate, when others were different...just plain bad writing.

And then there's the dead people coming back to life...I don't have enough time to even go into that one. Rewriting the past is also very lazy. Geez...they need to fire the whole bunch of them and find some people who have a little imagination. Now Mary Jane...whoever wrote that can stay.

rcsmiley: Adam is not Victor's stepson...he is his real son. As bad as Adam has been, I do think that Victor has always treated him like a stepson. He has and continues to give him the things that money can buy, but hasn't given him the unconditional love he gives his other kids. The other two can crap all over him and he forgives them. Of course, now they have had Adam doing things that would be considered unforgiveable however you look at it. Another case of illogical writing. I simply don't believe a son of Hope's would behave like that. Not just cruel, but stupid....

4 a.m. and can't sleep, Y&R friends. Thought I'd join the nice people in this chat room with coffee. Can I make you a cup?

Who is Nina's husband? Someone needs to put that woman in witness protection, pronto!

rc if Lily can drink it legally then I think she can carry it.I see that in Wisconsin you must be 18 to serve.

Here in Maine you must be 18 to handle ,serve or sell alcoholic beverages, but if you 17 and have a supervisor present who is at least 21 then you can serve and sell and if you are 15 you can handle it for stocking purposes or such.

Hi Karla,

Good to have a new person on the chat book. I don't know how Jill can not be Kay's, because Kay did have a DNA test done and supposedly it said that Jill and Kay were mother and daughter.Who knows perhaps the doctor was the same one that they hired to do the one on Cane and Philip (the one that died in the accident) supposedly he was fired for forging some of his findings so maybe somebody set things up way back then.

I don't know how Cane got in the middle of this mess,but obviously his Uncle Langley is indeed the Philip that is missing from the casket.

Connie, I hope Charlie is doing well, please let us know.

Rain, Rain go away!

Hi, Y and R'ers. So, the casket was empty, huh? I'm sure we all wonder why. Maybe Phillip C. had to be "placed aside" temporarily to protect him from something, and maybe, just maybe, this Langston guy in Australia is he. Just a thought.

It's possible Victor was digging up strong evidence to put away his notorious stepson. Yes, he probably could have deduced the recent occurances by himself, but wanted to make it stick. What d'ya think, gang?

A question I had today was, wasn't Lily too young to legally be carrying liquor to a table?

Virginia Beach, VA - Fri Jun 19 20:47:12 MDT 2009

OK - I have been watching Y&R since the 70's..... They have performed so many DNA test in the past 6 months I am soooooooo confused. Years ago when they said Jill was Katherine's daughter - how did that happen - if now a DNA test shows she isn't? How can Phillip III be alive...it was a drunk driving accident with a funeral, you don't have a funeral if someone doesn't die. How can he be Langston? Why does Cane think he has to use is passport - Lily loves him - it's not his fault that Phillip III/Langston is pulling a fast one - Cane and Lily fell in love for real.

I hope someone will make some comments about my questions....I need someone to talk to.

Is Nikki going gray? Why is she suddenly motherly to Ashley? They're like what, 5 years apart? Meh, I never liked the fragile characters anyway.

I was so hoping the package contained Adam's Botox! That Victor really needs to install a hidden camera in Adam's room. I guess that would be too much to ask for from the writers.

Caine's bar will not be in business very long, the way it looks, with NOBODY in there buying any booze. And it's so dark in there. Looks like a catacomb.

If Victor still had any brains, he would have figured out immediately that there is no way Sabrina's voice could have gotten into Adam's computer in a logical and explainable way. He should have taken the computer and handed it over to an expert for analysis.

And now the casket is empty. Wow and Wow again! Our trouble is that neither of us can really remember all the shenanigans from back then so we don't have a clear picture of any of this stuff.

Oh dear Connie, prayers will be pouring over Charlie, and you NC...you'll need them too. I'm so sorry this has happened.

Michael Muhney is slated to play Adam Wilson on June 25. He formerly played a sherif on Victoria Mars and has done lots of prime time tv. Katherine looked soo pretty today...good hair day. I wish I could wear a yellow belt like Lily was wearing today, not that skinny.Victor has sure let his hair grow long. Wonder if he's got another acting job. I read they may have come to a deal between Melody Thomas Scott and the YR lawyers, and she won't be quitting for a while, also Josh (Nick) has signed a new 5 year contract, which this source says its unusual, since contracts typically go 2yr or 4yr.

Fireman, did you finish the Yurt? Is your sister going to use it for vacation home or full time home. I first saw a yurt on TV show about unusual houses. It was in New MExico and the owner said it was cold, and you could hear the wind blowing too well. Could be chilly in ME.

Maybe if someone got MJ so sloshed she'll inadvertandly spill the beans on her intentions (just saw her at Caine's bar); even that sorry cat.
Who do you think will replace Adam's character when he leaves (if he does)?
...and MJ is living that second chance, eh? Maybe now we'll find who's at the bar in Australia?

I always liked Nina. She was a non-psycho but just as manipulative Sheila. Whatever happened to her poor soul of a mother?

Jean - LOL! I love Victor's stock expressions, too.

CC on the coffin - Cane Chancellor?

How does Langely/Philip manipulate things from so far away?

Adam - Take the Botox out of your eyes, and just see already. Then take your sorry ass back to jail. Would love to see him fall out of that tree outside his window, and get caught once and for all.

Victor - Don't hire Paul to solve Adam's "mystery."

I'm worried that MJ won't know about Summer's peanut allergy, and panic.

Jean, I'm grilling corn right now. Tastes so sweet right off the grill.

Someone solved the Danny mystery, who wants him hurt. I forget who said it, I'm sorry. But that makes sense now. I was racking my brain at the supermarket this morning, trying to figure out who'd want him hurt.

Huntington's has a 50 percent chance of striking any of the children. Exhume Kay's husband and see if he was a carrier.

I don't think Y&R pays much attention to ages. So Nina's son Phillip is 21? Very interesting since Nick was born when Phillip was a little boy. Apparently Phillip didn't get the 'miracle gro' in his cereal.

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't like Nina. She's such a know-it-all and I really, REALLY don't like that whole movie script thing. And she acts as if her husband died last week.

I was surprised that with a big company of trusted employees that Nick and Phyllis would leave Summer with loony tunes Mary Jane. She's a business acquaintance they barely know. That's not just illogical but irresponsible.

Very thankful this morning... - Fri Jun 19 02:00:03 MDT 2009

Mary I am sure your right about the masked alley man, we were just having a good laugh at the typical bizarre outcomes there are. I thought it was pretty funny him coming up with MJ.

Laughed today when Nicki is standing with her hands on her hips talking to Victor and Ashley....he says, "you know she's standing there trying to hold those hips in".

Everyone knows the coffin is being exhumed but watch for the letters on top. It says CC (Catherine Chancellor) is this the same coffin they used to bury Catherine???? Because Phillips should not say CC.

YEAH for Nina, yes siree, girl's got backbone, standing up to Jill and Catherine and laying it all out on the line, no minicing words or beating around the bush, way to move the storyline along. Way to go Nina......I like her on the show too, did way back when as well.

I think her and Paul actually go well together. Somebody refresh my memory, is her second husband alive or dead???

Question??? with all the sad missing child cases and murders going on lately I am thinking Y&R is going to take us on a storyline related to that. IE Mary Jane will kidnap Summer to punish Philly or did you notice the talk about putting her on the front of the magazine??? now what say some lunatic doesn't get ideas. They will probably use it to teach a lesson like they do every now and again. Safety lessons coming up in the summer months make sense.

Mary
Maine - Thu Jun 18 20:46:17 MDT 2009

Kim, I did a little looking on a page that has info on the characters of the show and this is the way the ages break down"

Cane:told Amber he was born 2 days before Christmas in 1976 so he would be 33

Nina : appeared on the show in 1986 at age 16 so she was born in 1970 and would be 39

Philip III: was born Dec 25, 1976 so he would be 33 like Cane,
however they aged him to 16 in 1986
and when he died in 1989 in the car wreck he was 19 so that would make his birthday in 1970 so he would be Nina's age of 39

I assume they are going with the Dec. 25, 1976 date and age of 33 (now)which would be the same age as Cane (although there is a discrepancy between the dates of Dec 23 and Dec 25, but the year is the same)

Philip and Nina's son Philip IV was born in 1988 so he would be 21 now

Danny R. (young Daniel's dad) was 16 in 1980 so he would have been born in 1964 so he would be 45 this year

Also I saw awhile ago that Sean Kanan who played on B & B as Deacon Sharpe an acquaintance of Amber Moore is joining the Y & R in June and I have a feeling he is out to cause some trouble between Daniel and Amber and that is perhaps why the con man as he laid dying when Danny asked him "who did this to you" the guy said "you did", I think meaning Daniel is the reason for the whole mess in some way, perhaps because of Daniel's and Amber's relationship (???).
Mary
Maine - Thu Jun 18 20:44:19 MDT 2009

I was disappointed Victor didn't show is neck veins when he blew. It was a pretty decent angry moment for him.

I think they have Screwed with the Phillip/Jill/Mrs. C/Babyswapping SO MUCH they think we will believe whatever they tell us.I read a spoiler about what's in the grave. I find it fascinating that they brought back the once young Phillip and are taunting us with his recognizable face. Having Huntingtons would be very sad for anyone, and Nina made her case for the testing very well. Many people don't want to know, now that they can tell you with genetic material testing. That's how Woody Guthrie died, and I understand some of his kids wanted the test and others did not.

I concur, it's fabulous to have Nina back. She is always pretty practical. It's neat that she wants to play detective...I like her better than Paul. Hope she's more successful. Down the road she might make a good partner for Paul. Does anyone think Victor and Nikki are ever going to re-unite? She might even fix Paul his short-ribs and saurkraut.
Is it my imagination or is Phyllis being just tooooooo nice about Paul and Sharon. Something about Nick and Sharon running their lines between them doesn't true well. Nick is a better actor with Phyllis.
LOL at Victor questioning Nick about leaving his family...what in the hell is Noah and his mother when comparing Phyllis and Summer.

rcsmiley, Victor did make it up the stairs in time to hear Sabrina on the laptop and he threatened Adam that all that has happened better not be his doing.

The guy Cain has been speaking to in Australia is the actor who portrayed Philip years ago, the one that Nina married that died in the car crash, that Jill believed to be her son. Kay realized years later that when drunk and jealous of Jill having a child by her husband she had swapped Jill's real son (Supposedly Cain was the real one)for the child that Jill raised as her son who died.Cain refers to the guy in Australia as his Uncle Langley.

Willie: I agree with others, that your writing skills and research were really good.
MaryW: yes, I too began to wonder why Tyra's eyelashes weren't flittering to brush those damn bangs out of her eyes; and yes, it was distracting.
Adam's orientation is unimportant to me, if that's the case. I'm just hoping for the character to be eradicated, or sent to prison.(sorry if that sounded too harsh. It's only a TV show)
Jean, I agree, I'd like to find out who's in Phillip's grave, because there was something about Caine that seemed somewhat unsettling, especially that time when Mrs. C convinced him not to worry about his familiary rights. He seemed all smiles about it. And who's the guy he spoke to on the phone at the bar in Australia?

I don't really feel that much is actually going to happen between Adam and Rafe, somehow I think like you do that it is going to be a matter of Adam trying to blackmail Rafe to keep him off his back.

MaryW in Littleton has rain too. Do you get those amazing lightning storms MaryW? We had one lightning strike last week that made me cry out HELP.I could see the flash and it happened right with the crash.
It must have been close.

I'm thinking Adam is bisexual because he seems to enjoy Heather too. WHo knows he might be using her too. I'm thinking he's gonna use an incident with Rafe to blackmale him into something smarmy. Gee that just what spies used to do and English politicians. Do we know how he's blackmailing Dr. Taylor?

MaryBeth -- 19 days in a row of rain -- i forget where you live -- ??

in seattle, that's not unusual in the late winter, early spring -- however, this year we've had 28 days with NO rain -- if it does not rain tomorrow, we will tie an all-time record -- and apparently there is no rain in sight . . . i guess it's climate change caused by global warming or something ?? -- whatever, it's very very strange and somewhat worrisome to me -- we've also broken several high temp records in the past couple of weeks -- the weather seems somewhat upside down these days . . .

roxy belle got fixed yesterday and on friday last she passed her puppygarten tests with flying colors and was the only puppy in the class that passed -- oooooh, are we ever proud parents !!

she feels no pain and we are to keep her quiet and calm for ten days to two weeks which will prove impossible if today was any indication

we have four grandchildren born in july, so i was wrapping birthday gifts while watching Y&R today -- the show was just mishmash of reality and daydreaming and scheming and whining and lying -- i know that's par for the course in soaps, but for so many years, Y&R seemed above par -- i really wonder if it can continue on the air . . .

LOL RC I know why you liked Heather's silk blouse; I noticed them too and I'm a girl, so...

OK I'm more confused now about who is gay on the show/in real life; doesn't really matter though it's trivial...

All Adam had to do was quickly detach the battery from his laptop and it would have shut off...

OMG Jill doing nails again BWAHAHAHA

OK the stuffed kitty and the way she carries it is really starting to creep me out...

I loved it how the other day Phyllis said that the town butcher could be the father of Sharon's baby...

Did anyone else want to brush the bangs out of Tyra's eyes?

So for a little while, we actually had a happy young couple on Y&R but of course Lily now has physical condition worries and Dane may be a fraud, so there that one goes.

And Mac got engaged to Raul and looked like they might be happy but no- now she's all hot about Billy and maybe the wedding's off. So there that one may go.

Chloe and Billy got married and for a few seconds (blink and you missed it) it seemed they might make a go of it- but no, Chloe is done with that rat now. Another one gone.

Heather and Adam seemed compatible but soon he's going to be undone by Victor-and another couple will bite the dust.

At one time, Jill and Catherine were oh so happy to discover they were mother and daughter, but no-- now they hate each other.

Ashley and Victor were going to welcome a baby, oh such a happy occasion- and now she's having a hysterical pregnancy and that plot line goes up in smoke.

Does anyone see a pattern here? Set up something credibly optimistic and then blow it to bits. Noah and Eden better watch out.

Hi, gang! Watching it now, and I saw the piecing gaze Victor gave Adam as he hugged an upset (name). WE all know Adam's guilt is as plain as the wall paint.What a bummer when his friend finds out.
The wool seems to be over Catherine's eyes too, but she'll let Caine be the family pet somehow. Like Heather's dress (Not allowed to say why, though).
Mary Jane's fantasies are really nutty, eh? Looks like oppressive guilt.
Is Adam getting caught? Tune in, folks.

From Soap Central History of Jack and Patty

"Brief Character History
In the early 1980s, Patty fell in love with Jabot heir and playboy, Jack Abbott, much to her parents' disapproval. A jealous Jill Foster then confessed to Patty that she and Jack had been secret lovers. A furious Jack fired Jill from Jabot. Patty then started dating Danny Romalotti in an attempt to forget Jack. Patty eventually broke up with Danny and much to her parents horror, began dating Jack.

Model, Diane Jenkins, had been having an affair with Jack hoping to become Jabot's top model. Then Diane fell hopelessly in love with Jack, and began to delude herself that she would end up Mrs. Jack Abbott. But Jack decided to marry young and innocent Patty in an effort to show his father he'd finally "grown up." Jack was even found in bed with Diane by his sister Ashley when late for his wedding to Patty. Diane and Jack continued their affair even after his marriage, then Diane threatened to tell Patty about it, if she didn't get the top model job at Jabot. So Jack gave her the job for the summer, but by fall, Julia Newman was instead appointed spokesperson for Jabot's new line of products. When a pregnant Patty was prompted by the scheming Jill to visit Jack at his office, she found him making love to Diane. She was so traumatized that she tripped over a plant in the lobby, and later miscarried. After her recovery, Patty told Jack she wanted another baby, and to move out of the Abbott Mansion into their own house. When she later overheard Jack making plans for a vasectomy, and telling Jill he only married her so John would make him president of Jabot, Patty showed up at Jack's office ready to kill herself in front of him. Jack admitted how cruel he had been to her, begged her not to, and to shoot him instead. So she shot Jack three times. The shooting left Jack temporarily paralyzed, but he eventually recovered after surgery. Patty's father Carl was the detective working the case, and was convinced Jill was the shooter. Patty had lost any memory of the shooting or what led to it until Jack and her psychiatrist forced her to remember by re-enacting the shooting. Once she remembered, she left Jack and divorced him.

Patty returned to town about a year later and dated Danny again, but after he agreed to marry his friend Traci who was pregnant by a married man, Patty left town again. "

Jean I remembered you had a brother. I don't think it has anything to do with liking babies though. I was just curious about adb. IT's true everyone of us is different. Lately I've been wishing I was different, lol working with a therapist on that too.

I think Clementine was on L WOrd and played a tougher character than Mac. She hasn't worked as an actress too long. HEr bio says she was married for a bout 20 minutes. Mac and Raul and BIlly and Chloe were all born in 78 ir 79. Some people just appear older. I think Clemmie got the bags under her eyes from Sybil who has them too.

I think over the years we've heard about Poor Patty, victim of the CAD Jack, who was a selfish and overbearing ladies man back then. Was that in the Terry Lester days? Never really heard the whole ugly story, I'll have to go searching for that.

We have had rain every day for 19 days now. We haven't watered the lawn once yet. I personally have trouble with the cloudy and chilly weather we've had. I need some sunshine here. There have been tornadoes with the rain around us for a few days.

Hi Jam: - I was thinking the same thing. I didn't remember 3 hole Jack either. I was thinking it was just a new idea with history, (You know how the writers can tell us anything)! then it will turn out that MaryJane did it years ago when he betrayed her love. Sure would give him reason to be afraid of her!!

Deb
- Tue Jun 16 08:52:42 MDT 2009

The Mac part needs to be played by someone more like the original Mac. Petite, dewy-eyed, but a determined tree-hugger, totally focused on Truth & Justice, and always wearing a Peace necklace haha.
Clementine is more suited for Cain -say if Lily fell off a cliff or something. (I"m just saying~~~~)

Hey-what was Jack referring to when he was talking to Phyllis about his bullet holes, and the woman who shot him?? I must not have been watching at that time.

Jam
HOTlanta - Tue Jun 16 08:11:49 MDT 2009

Hi everyone
I agree Mary Jane is sick...maybe Paul will recognize her stuffed kitty and put two and two together before she kidnaps Summer. I think the writers are playing with this idea to see how far they can do before there is total outrage among the viewers, thus the Kill the Bird incident to send Philly a message. Makes sense with her asking Summer if would be fun for them both to dress up the same. I do think there's a story going to be built around Summer and her paternal truth will eventually be revealed....isn't it always!

If our Jack has always wanted to be a father...da!da! (no pun inteneded) why doesn't he call Diane and see his own kid!

I am not fussed at all on going down the crazy route, seems there have been so many "went off my rocker" stories. Mary Jane' storyline is same old, same old to me... Trish, Isabella, Sheila...enough already.

Ashley's "hysterical pregnancy" - you must admit...it is hysterical!!
In what lifetime would some past student be able to call up an "esteemed" Doc, likely Dean of some sort at Harvard and say if you don't get caught up in my plot to drive my stepmom crazy and get my own back on my dad I will reveal your sick sexual abuse of patients secret....which the world already knows about and hang you out to dry. Let me see, that is his past or at very best his present and everyone knows anyway so how come Dr. O hasn't heard this rumour/charge against her renowned friend? So instead of putting up with rumours or dealing with what he has been charged with the Dr. agrees to work with an IN-House Criminal to play a poor unsuspecting mother to not be, married to a man with enough money to destroy not only the Dr. but the Dr's future generations, risk his medical licence and his freedom and get WHAT!!!!!!!PULEEZE.

Daniel!!!!!!!!!!! what a stupid, stupid, stupid storyline, hey maybe this time MRs. C can call the whitehouse and Barak will give them clemency this time.......... for stupidity.

Where's Murphy these days???? surely he could take over R&D at Chanceller Industries, after all he has more business experience than anyone else who has ever been put in a top level position.

Mac - hate the new Mac, she really is too old for the part and still makes me shudder when she's on. Absolutely nothing there between her and Billy for chemistry.

Makes me think of Y&R couples:
Love Lauren and Mike together
Love Mrs. C and Murphy
Loved Jill and Warton
Like Victoria and JT (hope they're more passionate in real life)
Liked Philly and Jack together
Don't mind Paul and Nicki
Used to love Victor and Nicki but it's a been there done that now.
Can't stand Neil with anybody, God you couldn't trust him with a cracked bottle.
Cane got what he wanted Lily got what she deserved in that relationship.
Like Amber and Daniel together
Like Chipmunk and whadda ya call her together
Love Jeffery and the gold digger
Victor and Ashley do nothing for me
Neither does the DA and the in house Jail Bird
Love Chloe and Billy together
Mac and Raul - perfect boring match
Always liked Sharon and Nick (think they're going to play this one too much though.

Just my opinion

Y&R - MJ, well is the only interesting thing around on Y&R right now. She is the new Tricha, and it is a refreshhing s/l all around now. Well maybe the Cane, Phillip thing. Rest is same ole bed swapping, etc. Puke.

David - I read in a rag that Raul was going to be Adams interest....and they chose to use Rafe. Hmm interesting how this will play out.

Pamela - Yes, Mac is a lesbian, and she is doing a good job acting straight. Adam, well I guess he just drew the line, maybe against his morals.

Adb - glad you actually enjoyed the shower.

MaryB - You didn't ask me if I was an only child since I don't have any children. Okay, I have an older brother, and my dad wanted another boy Im sure. I loved playing baseball ball with the boys in the hood (had my own mitt and bat, good at it too), and played basketball also with them. Played with toy cars, not dolls. So I guess I grew up with no motherly instint. Never wanted kids. Now if I'm in a room with dogs.....I would hold everyone one of them and kiss them. I would be a Betty White. Aren't we all different.

Raul isn't gay he is the young man that is engaged to Mac.

Rafael is the lawyer who represented Neil over Anna's adoption and his aunt is Estella (sp) who worked at the ranch for Victor, he told Collen that he is gay. I could care less, I'm getting a little tired of the mixing and matching with this one and then that one anyway and no use of protection or birth control it seems.

Hysterical pregnancy does indeed occur,my mom knew a lady who went through it, a very heart wrenching occurrence.
Mary
Maine - Mon Jun 15 16:10:37 MDT 2009

Pamela, Dr. Taylor is being blackmailed by Adam, so whatever drugs he gave Ashley can't be a good thing.

That hysterical pregnancy thing sounds weird--I googled it and it is a real thing!

I still don't get the whole Adam as being a gay character thing...he's just in the closet for now or what? Is he turning gay in the next few weeks when the new actor arrives?? And Raul is gay too? He's in the closet with Adam? Interesting since they both have girlfriend/fiance. Craziness, I tell ya

RE The moms who are lamenting that their babies grew up too soon...I'm already experiencing this and little bear cub here is not even 3 months old yet. I had to buy her the next diaper size up the other day and I was like OMG.....she's growing up so fast!!
Mary W <read from here>
CO - Mon Jun 15 14:45:01 MDT 2009

You're welcome, Jam. ITA - Chris Engen is hot!

Ashley's miscarriage. I hope Dr. Taylor gave her antibiotics. I'm worried that an infection will set in, as it's no longer early in the pregnancy. Wasn't she beginning her second trimester?

Oh well, halfway through the show here. Victor just barged into MJ's room. Looking forward the riot act he's sure to read her.

Willie - I had three baby boys pee in my face. Such gratitude! LOL

I know Clememtine Ford is only 29, but she looks closer to my age (53). Now I know there are some pretty hot "MILF's" out there, and I'm not one of them, LOL, but either she looks old for her age, or Raul and Billy are baby faced. The weight on her face might be doing it, because sometimes weight makes our faces look older. I wonder the if the circles under her eyes are intentional, from the hard life in Darfur? Or maybe she's just one of those big faced people?

It's too funny. Chris Engen is straight and won't play gay. Clementine Ford is gay, and she's happy to play straight. Or if not happy, no public complaints to fans and magazines. My God, though, she looks just like her mother.

baby shower went just fine -- hectic, but fine -- and i am very pleased with how it went and would consider doing it again some time

to the mary that asked if i was an only child: no, i have a brother who is 23 months younger than i

i never have had to hold a baby because basyl runs right up to newborns and grabs them from their mother's arms -- i stand with my hands clenched tightly behind my back -- works well for us !!

re burning towel -- exactly -- smells should have been atrocious --

what i said right out loud during the throwing the towel in the fireplace is "what the heck are they doing with a fire in the fireplace in the middle of spring, in the middle of the night, with no one was downstairs to enjoy it" (we KNOW the newmans do not use it to heat the home) (and, oh, by the way, it was about 80 degrees here at the time, so it was even more ridiculous to me)

willie, dear, the show is taking a heck of a lot more than suspension of disbelief to tolerate it right now (IMO)

hugs all

Willie! Glad to see you made it. Yeah these posts are very picky. Amen on the writing styles you mentioned; spec. note re: the burning bloody towels that no one seemed to smell and the lack of smoke, as mentioned by Jam and, I think, MaryBeth. Why storyline people forget this logical information I'll never know.
MaryBeth: Yes, wouldn't Jeff finding nutty MJ talking to her dead, stuffed cat be entertaining? Might put some humor in this daily dribble we've been seeing so far, no? Sorry I won't see this tomorrow, though.

Virginia Beach, VA - Sun Jun 14 20:47:30 MDT 2009

OK, I made it, so, encouraged by success, I'll try again. HQ says there were 2 Philips. I'll quote her here: "I think there were two and Nina was married to one and the other was her son". Does this compute?

I've mentioned in the past that I used to be a short-story writer who actually got published a few times in mags no one ever heard of but I did study with a fine author who kept pointing out that "the suspension of disbelief" was the one thing a story had to have. The recent comments on here about writing quality and nutty plots are a prime example of that principle- they're not making us believe this stuff is really possible.
Willie
- Sun Jun 14 19:48:45 MDT 2009

I swear I've been spelling "Newman" correctly but I haven't capitalized it. Maybe that's my problem. Anyway, I'm trying again to comment about women holding babies. What I said was that here is one male who enjoyed holding babies, 3 of them in fact, both before and after diaper changes (many of which I made) happy or sad, sick or well and one memorable time when I held my first-born happily up in front of me and received a giant up-chuck as a reward. HQ and I both remember those days fondly and thank goodness we still have 3 somewhat older babies, 2 of them with families of their own. Now let's see if this makes it.

MaryBeth - That Newman living room is a tiny bit updated, but how about that Big Sketch of Sabrina inthere -right in the new bride-Ashley's Face everytime she walks in there?? Victor is a yutz.

Who mentioned the burning bloody towels in the firepalce? I too was talking out loud to the other actors "Do you not smell wet stinky towels burning???"
And why wasn't there any smoke? I get so aggravated over these blatant blunders. (Like Nurse Connie does over the totally inaccurate hospital scenes.) Oh well- tis only a Soap"

My grandbaby too is learning to put together sentences. It's so exciting, but I have to say that I will miss the way she talks now. I remember a million years ago sitting around with other first grade moms and we were lamenting that our babies were learning to spell. My daughter had written me many notes (that I still have) that she wrote before starting school, spelling things the way they sounded to her. I tell her now to be present with her daughter, to enjoy the moment...it goes so fast!

NC I love how Nora is putting words together. So sweet what she says. SHe has a new grocery basket she pushes around and my son says she's real hard on his ankles...crashing in to them. She's doing good at the all day program for preschool a couple days a week. She is learning so much.

Jam! how are you? I always think of you when I watch the Flipper show that does work in Atlanta. Don't worry, I don't think they'll be coming to your neighborhood. Have you noticed Victor's livingroom doesn't have so much Pink and Green that it used to when it was Nikki's house?

Guess we have Ashley's crash to the bottom in her mental health to look forward to. Interesting how well Victor and Nikki are communicating. What will Jeffrey find out about MJ? She is such a crazy lady. Maybe someone will be finding her picture book, and put the pieces together. Crazy MJ almost makes Phyllis's antics look tame.So we should have the new Adam soon. Someone said they hadn't seen Noah and his girlfriend lately Can't remember her name... they have to have a real odd take on parents and parenting. Poor kids. I guess Nick and Victoria have a pretty wild past too.

You know, I just thought, while reading moat of your posts, gang. It seems as if there is an actor's strike going on, and these on Y&R are crossing the picket line. So the writers circulate them around so that the same faces appear in different roles from time to time. Granted, its a skant possibility, but that might explain the return of buried characters like Phillip Chancellor. Just a thought.
But there is no excuse for bad writing on Y&R.

Helllooooo~~~ I think the whole Silver chipmunk/gerbil -whatever- story has been the worst, including all the "extra actors" used. My gawd, TPTB even saved money by using "Amber" as the voice for that RODENT when he mystically visited Kevin's brain while he was in the padded cell. I want Ambeer, Daniel, Kevin and Janna to all Go Upstairs, as euphemystically say, and NEVER COME BACK DOWN!
Same with that bad wig that they've plopped on Mac's head. Is this an attempt to make her look as young as Billy? It doesn't. She is too old and too tall for either him or Raul! I think the part should be recast.
I read that the actor who plays Adam got booted off the show, and he is very p.o.'d about it.
ITA with all who say the writing has been AWFUL lately. What are these guys smoking while they're dreaming up these plots??
Atleast MaryJane is somewhat interesting, but she's kind of like a causasian Omarosa, LOL. (Someone you love to hate.) And I spurt my coffee when she was flipping around that stuffed cat, and also her "People I Hate" page. Geez, how can she play this part, with a straight face??? I'd PMP if it was me.
Let's get back to Kay/Murphy/Jill. Also I Am intrigued about what the ---- is going on with Cain/Phillip & the Aussie Connection.

MaryBeth, Willie: Unfortunately, I've also found the post in ChatBook didn't take, and seemed outright rejected by the page. I was pissed at first, but realized, I'd spelled "Newman" as "Nwman" or "newmann". With the new updates(I think) to the ChatBook, after I type the letter 'N', two words appear underneath, saying "Newman" or "newman", and I just highlight one to appear in the required questioned space above Comments.

Hi, Y&R'rs. Been reading all your posts. Yes, Toots, I think it would smell, and yes, writers are grabbing at straws for stories, but nothing seems solid, does it.
Yet, I noticed that Jack really cares for Sharon and mourns her leaving him. For a Newman! Ah, but her baby could be Billy's and not Nick's. There's wood for the Abbot/Newman Family Feud, eh? Really, though, I kinda felt bad for Jack. Ah, but we see Jack and nutty Mary squeezing their lips at the door.....Mmm, a backdoor relationship for Jack or a dive in the Abbott pool for Mary Jane?

Frances - I think we went thru this holding a baby before....adb, along with me have never held a baby. What you don't know won't hurt ya. I always DREADED baby showers. I have attended a couple, but then just ended up sending a gift with regrets I couldn't make it. (seriously, it isn't about motherhood, I just don't get into "girlie" thingies. I'd rather play poker and drink beer with the guys.LOL) Oh, and yes, I saw Adam Lamberts hottie....looked like George Michaels, well in his younger days!!

Toots - we aren't Olive Garden people (most people love it), too commercialized for us.....we like the mom and pop quaint whole in the walls.

Jean...Adam also wears black toenail polish. I think it was in a People mag. This week's mag has him strutting down the street with some hot guy!

Oh....speaking of gay....Chastity Bono is getting a sex change. W.T.F.? She used to be so cute. Remember her on Sonny & Cher when they would bring her out on stage with them?

i just think the writers are stumped -- maybe they should watch another show or two to get some ideas -- something seems dreadfully wrong and it's actually getting annoying (for me) to watch the show (which i do only about once a week now)

HA HA HA -- i just copied what i wrote yesterday --still applies -- and i think it's quite fitting to repeat myself since that's what the writers of the show seem to be doing

i don't think i'll ever do this again, but it made me laugh when i thought to do it

did i mention i am having a baby shower on sunday -- not only have i never been to a baby shower (or ever held a baby for that matter); the closest i've ever been to being invited to a baby shower was a couple of years ago when a friend told me she was having a baby showering and thought about inviting me and then decided not to !!!

good night david . . .

Last minute thoughts.....did Dr Feelgood (Harvard guy) give Ashley "happy" pills aka Valuim?? I know he perscribed her something, but she just seem sooo, hmmm, cutsie, giddish, etc? The normal Ashley would be a bulldog to the doc and Adam.

NC - Adam Lambert is hot. I know why you like him, he can curl that lip like Elvis. LOLOL You know, we had to go to a business meeting last night, and one of the wives said, you didn't vote for Adam did you?? And I said, as many times as I could get thru. She said but he wears nail polish, how could you vote for him?!?!?!?!? (talk about narrow minded, and she lives in a big city) I said cause he IMO was the best singer. She said she voted for Kris cause he was cute. Case closed why Adam didn't win.

Hi, gang! All this seems superfluous, but I agree with all of you. These writers must be straining to come up with something new. I just thought, even if Adam burned the evidence, the evidence would b noticed, no? And why doesn't Ashley...forget it. I thought a woman was supposed to just know. Sorry readers.

This stuff with Daniel just wears me out. What they need in this show is plain solid evidence re: truw paintings, false ones, look for the facts instead of dishing out accusations, right?

Oh yes, and MaryJane (I liked the "MaryInsane" term by Pinkie). When will someone pick up that she's nutz? If only someone, like Paul, could find her talking to her dead cat. THAT WOULD BE ENTERTAINMENT!- rc

Catfish and mac and cheese...yummmmmm - Thu Jun 11 20:08:53 MDT 2009

Folks, I sure agree with all the great points you've been making lately. We're supposed to believe Ashley had a miscarriage at the foot of the stairs and all Adam needed to do was swipe some rags around and presto, no blood, no fetus, no placenta!

And Mary Jane, who must be someone from way back, is rapidly going nuts. Since Victor brought her to GC (who knows why?)he should be getting in touch with her soon, right?

It was nice to see Heather who has quit going to see Adam to have sex. Was there some kind of agreement she wouldn't come around, fearful of Victor? I don't remember such a scene, does anyone?

My own gripe today is the fact that just about all law enforcement officers never believe anything our characters tell them but must always be nasty, idiotic and accusatory. Someone mentioned the lack of FBI in the alley after the agent supposedly had people all over the place. Just one more straw! That ole camel must be groaning under the load right now!

Y&R - agree with all the posts too....to far out there to be realistic. And yes, killing the cat and bird. What are the writers thinking. Well, I could say that about all the other storylines right now. Thought this Bell chick was going to bring back life to the show. Blaaa haaaa. I do love the way Cloe dresses, and Mrs C. Must back Mac up....I like her.

Okay, I'm in Texas okay. Recently when I have been walking Belle, I see four Armadillos "rooting" for bugs, etc. They are usually timid, scared, etc....but these are tame!!! They walk right up to me. The other day they wanted to follow me home, and today, one actually came up to me and licked my legs!!! Unbelievable!!! Dan wanted to know if I picked it up. LOLOL

OK, OK, I am a fan of the show but I can't disagree with everyone's comments RE how bad/unrealistic/repetitive the writing has been lately, lots of blunders and silliness.

Bachelorette: Wes really needs to go! I felt bad for Tanner, he wanted to tell Jillian who has girlfriends but he didn't want to break "man-code". He was really sweatin' it.

OMG Mary Jane killed her cat....too far writers! You should know how many animal lovers watch the show!

LOL at Jean's comments RE Jack being intimate with two women so close together, I agree EEUUUU

I loved Mrs. C and Cloe's talk about self-respect; I also loved the broach Mrs. C was wearing in that scene.

Mary B I was laughing out loud when I read your description of Summer's life.

What happened to Noah and Eden? They ride off into the sunset?

Hey, I really like MaryJane's cat. Since I'm not a cat person except for alll the collectables about cats, it's the perfect cat for me. It wouldn't give me the stinkeye, or rub against my legs...jump in my lap or leave presents next to litter box. I've seen those cats in junk stores when traveling. THere was a particulary catty store in New Mexico just past Albuquerque.

The show keeps re-playing old scenes. That must save money on new scenes and actors. WOnder if the actor gets any more money if their scene plays more than once.

What do you all think about the trend with younger guys to always have a scruffy 2-3 day beard? That was always the worst part of my husband growing a beard...always so scratchy when you kissed him. I even saw a special razor to KEEP your 2-3 day beard without a clean shave. Funny, I sound like a grumpy 62 year old broad.

Iagree with the previous post - How did Adam clean up Ashley - he made the comment "there is so much blood" where did it go. Ashley should still be bleeding - they need to end this story line it is ridiculous.

Then there is Mary Jane - I hate this storyline, I have never understood it, what was Victor going to gain out of it, If it is Patty-why should she still care about Jack after all these years. - I don't know what her purpose is and where the storyline is going.

When Madman picked Ashely up, she had a smidgen of blood on the front of her None where it should of had it .. and Wouldnt You want to hear your Babys heartbeat yourself to make sure the Baby is Ok.. and NOW Adam is sorry !! Please TPTB why would you go after a Pg women to get back at Jack & Vic.?? If you didnt mean her any harm but got Joy out of watching her fall apart mentally . Grrrrrrr ....
the whole painting story is SOOOOooooo lame as mentioned by Mary (good job) and I agree with you also Ladybug .. Oh Surprise surprise Mack still Loves Billy!!! Duh!..
And Maryinsane talks to her stuffed cat.. Maybe Nikki will get caught in the cross fire of Mj's wrath and be killed ..
Chloe is really growing on me more and more.. I hope the writers keep her strong .. and Welcome T.. I agree with all you say about Phylass.. dont feel bad for her at all .not one bit..

I don't know a lot about medical procedures, but I do believe that a D & C is usually done after a miscarriage to remove any tissue that is not expelled and the placenta to avoid an infections. Nurse Connie would no doubt have info on this.

Perhaps the pills the doctor left her were antibiotics to prevent infection?

Of course where it was dark and Adam did the quick clean up and burned the towels, clothing and etc, perhaps any sign of the fetus was probably destroyed. I would just like to know how he managed to clean Ashley's body of the blood, and take her nightgown off and change it without that coming to her attention.

I don't think Danny was trying to "rescue" a fake painting rather he was trying to protect himself from being involved in the whole mess by getting the painting before any further hurt was done to anyone.
Mary
Maine - Thu Jun 11 12:11:32 MDT 2009

Boy our F B I sure does a fantastic job according to the mess portrayed of the money/ painting switch. No agents posted in or around the alley,no one to see Danny enter the alley, no one to see the guy in black run away with the briefcase and the painting. Yet the guy who took the briefcase is in the coffee house with black gloves on in the late spring wearing all black and no one notices.Daniel it would seem must be a master plotter since he notified the FBI of the impersonator days before the whole alley scene took place, so I guess he is doing a better job than the FBI agent, who says he is so good at solving cases!

I think they could speed the Adam storyline along and save the money of hiring another actor to portray him by just having him killed off by the doctor who he is blackmailing and whose life will go down the tubes when Victor gets wind of what he did or if Adam discloses the doctor's past indiscretions.

Ashley should still have spotting after a miscarriage, but not a mention of it and yeah with no internal exam or ultrasound done all the doctor would have to go by would be the baby's heartbeat.
Mary
Maine - Thu Jun 11 11:40:36 MDT 2009

Now who's the guy with the attache case? Boy, Adam's really got Ashley duped. eh? Yes, and right I think there would have been blood over the freaking stairs, etc., as I'm sure most of you know more than I. Sorry for the graphics, but I think TV wants to save themselves from suits if some people wretch at home from reality. Oh well.
rcsmiley
VaBch, VA - Thu Jun 11 11:31:37 MDT 2009

...and besides the exam, (this is gross but realistic)wouldn't someone have noticed a fetus in the miscarriage leavings? Adam grumbled "there's so much blood here" and wouldn't the sheets in Ashleys bed be a bit messy? Ashley is far enough along to be showing a little belly.I wonder if there's a notable percentage of Soap pregnancies that end in miscarriage, or still birth?

Once again we are complaining but still watching this train wreck.
When does new Adam come on board? I thought new guy looks a lot like Noah and Billy who look a bit alike I think. LOL the casting director must like that type guy.
Victor and Ashley both are going to be very very shaken by this loss. I just hate looking at that drawing of Sabrina in their livingroom. It should be somewhere private like Victor's dressing room.
I can hardly wait for Mac to fly off to some needy 3rd world place to help people again.
Since Chloe has calmed down a bit, I kind of like her better. Maybe she's like a puppy , they always calm down after their first litter.I love the way she puts her clothes together too.

You are finsished...griping done.
MaryBeth
- Thu Jun 11 10:33:10 MDT 2009

Attention women who have had babies...did your doctor EVER do an examination that didn't involve STIRRUPS!!! Did Nikki, perhaps, hold Ashley's legs up in the air while the fancy shmancy doctor from Harvard, who no one asked "why are you here in Genoa City?, was examining her???

So Daniel is confronted by a crazy man with a mask on, who is pointing a gun at him...and he just stands there. He's risking his life to protect a FAKE PAINTING???!!! I could see someone protecting a masterpiece, maybe a DaVinci or Rembrandt, etc...but a painting he himself whipped out in a few weeks time!!

I agree with you, abd, the writer's appear to be stumped. Let's hope that the new story with Daniel isn't that he's accused of a crime he didn't commit, like, say...just a few weeks ago when that happened to Kevin. And I had deja vu watching the crates fall on Victoria...she had stuff fall on her in that building explosion. Maybe they've made a budget cut by revamping the old scripts.

MaryBeth: Yes, I remember someone uncovering a hidden painting on Y&R, but don't remember when, and, yes, this could be it. But proof of course could take another few weeks of script(sigh).
Speaking of 'loony bin', this Mary Jane is crazy as a bed bug, speaking to her stuffed(maybe 'dead')cat, as I'm sure you saw. Who can speak of her intentions re: Jack, dead or alive in bed?(creepy)
And writers: Finish up this Adam crime drama. We're all sure Ashley's heart will be broken with her(I'm sure) fetus in term. Oh what do y'all think of Nikki's future if Adam pulls a fast one on Victor?

Virginia Beach, VA - Wed Jun 10 18:31:21 MDT 2009

Wasn't there another story involving a painting Victoria got in Italy when she lived there....and some masterpiece was hidden under it? Well it was on some soap I watched.

Nick and Sharon must like to kiss a lot, they sure give those lips a workout.

Summer uttered lines the otherday. Can't remember what she said, but it was about going upstairs to show her teacher around. It would be unusual if Summer wasn't acting out at school. At home she can't even say hello. But with her daddy using the revolving door and her Unkie Jack sleeping over on the couch, and Mary Jane peeking in the windows...IT's a loony bin.

Nikki looked so fresh and relaxed with decent hairdo today when she talked to Victor on the phone. YIKes she might get killed when Adam has another brainstorm. Wonder how long they are going to let Ashley go on thinking she's pregnant still. Gawd, she's gonna freak out.

My comment is about Jack, Nick, Sharon,and Phyllis. Everyone has forgotten that when Jack was married to Phyllis they tried to have a baby, and could not" Well the baby that Phyllis had (Summer) is Jack's. On every other soap DNA was proved. Nick took the DNA, but Jack did not. Nick got the results, and left town. He did not tell or show the results to anyone. When Jack was going to have the DNA because no one could find Nick. Nick came back and said Summer was his. Remember he did not show the results. They went on what he said. I think he wanted to replace that baby with the loss of Cassey. He suppressed it in his head that that baby was his. It is ironic that Jack was the one to deliver the baby in the elevator, and not Nick.Phyllis got was she deserved (what goes around comes around) I feel nothing for her pain. Now she see how Sharon felt. Their son was small too. Phyllis did not seem to care.

MaryW: Jillian was raised in the Peace River area of Alberta, even though she works as a designer now in Vancouver, B.C. YES, lots of country music fans here (including me.) Probably because we have lots of ranching/cowboys. I'm glad she is finally seeing through a few of these guys. I admire the questions she asks as she makes her rounds, smart and to the point. I wonder who the traitor is she will find out about next week????
I can see why the Adam character would not like his role, my goodness, he is Dr. Evil.
How can someone have a miscarriage and not abort the baby?
If I were Melody, I would go on recurring status. Such as the Lauren Fenmore character. We still see lots of her. I guess they are sticking to "THE YOUNG and the Restless." Just not the same without the interaction between Victor and Nikki, though, after all these years.

What did Adam expect when he pulled these stunts on Ashley?? When he was saying "I didn't want to hurt you or the baby", I said outloud to myself, what did you expect?? Kind of lame. I'll be glad when this part is over, too. How could there have been that much blood on the floor where she fell, and she gets in bed and no blood on anything or her?? Not very realistic.

I think I will write my comments about Nikki leaving show. It didn't help with Brad, but made me feel better. They are getting too many "kids" and getting rid of the real actors who have been on here forever.

Frances - yeah, like we didn't know that about Adam!! (I still think that is why he lost). He is not a "flaming" gay, as say Elton John etc.. I thought he might be bi. Did you read that he had to room with Kris, and Adam said, Oh, no, the only cute one on the show and I'm rooming with him!! LOL But he said they were both cool with it. Okay I'm liberal in that area, but if I had to room with a lesbian, I don't think I could do it. I would be uncomfortable. Just me.

Second sentence it's an adjective, so hyphenated. It's never "followup". I'm sure it was very difficult to do with the baby. It took me 2 years to do my course without caring for newborn! LOL I slacked off though over the summers. But the course I took was sooooooooo detailed and covered so much stuff that I'll probably never even use....like autopsy reports....although they were very interesting to learn and type.

I didn't pass the final! :-( So I need to practice more and I have 2 more tries to try to pass it. There are so many little things you have to get perfect, like, the punctuation has to be perfect, when to use followup, when to use follow up, etc. And I still don't understand when we are supposed to correct the doctor's incorrect grammar!

As I'm sure s lot of you agree, I think Phyllis should dump her quest and Sharon her second doubting herself so that Nick can resume the relationship with Sharon they once had. Phyllis' obsession with jealousy over Sharon is going to hurt her and others.

toots I had to laugh at waiting till someone younger comes over...I keeep a to do list for Nate now...he's at the age of needed a quick $20 or a tank of gas...so he calls and ask if there is anything on his list (*_*)

Y&R - I may watch it a couple times a week it's just not good anymore to me...IMO

adb and Jean...I got down very bad and the doc has adjusted my meds several times and I think now I'm at a much better place in my life because I have a caring hubby and a wonderful doc who cares about me. I thought I had handle other issues well in the past BUT NOTHING compares to this. I'm trying to increase my activities and self worth to this world and WILL NEVER EVER WORK FOR THE MONSTERS THAT MADE ME GET IN THIS MESS...they are evil and must fall beneath the pond scum...!!!

Willie: Liked your comment on "fellow sufferers"(!) and I agree that the flux of characters is unsettling.
I is better, marybeth, to have one Nikki than 2 or 3, because stability in the character/cast will, I think, assist a show's fan base, and possibly strengthen the story line. Is that what you're saying? Maybe the writing staff reads this, do ya think?
And BettyBoop, how are you?

Between hearing that Niki will leave the show and puzzling about Mary Jane's mental condition, wondering if the new Adam will show up soon, observing Ashley being driven nuts by Adam, trying to figure out what Chloe will do now after learning her almost-husband did the deed with Sharon the morning of their wedding day, musing about what Paul will learn about Mary Jane, asking where Heather has disappeared to, cogitating on the likelihood of Sharon saying so long to Jack's offers and finally just totally at sea about this movie script business with Nina, I'm going to go do a jigsaw puzzle on this computer! Bye now, all fellow-sufferers!

As far as the Bell Family letting yet another of their senior, well loved (even if at times we hate them) actors go so that we can have more younger (not that I don't like some of them) less experienced and less cared about actors take over they should look at getting rid of The Bold and The Beautiful and put their time, money and talent into the better of their two show in my opinion.I have watched B & B at times, but it is So incestuous (much more that Y & R ) and the same old circle of the same old thing that its ridiculous.

The thing I always like about As The World Turns as I was growing up was the fact that they kept their stable, you can count on actors around like Bob, Kim, Lisa, and Nancy. A television community to be true to life it needs the elderly, middle aged,young, rich, middle class,poor, handsome and plain,straight and gay, the good and the bad because as the saying goes if we were all the same what a boring life it would be.

I googled Melody and I came up with an statement that they offered her 40% drop in her wages. So that was just what they did to Jill and I read she's come to angreement for her contract. Melody didn't come to an agreement. She's pretty high paid, and she nixed doing a part time kind of job. It didn't say how long she's got left though I'll see what else I can find. Lots of people wrote in to comment that they'd rather have one Nikki than all these cheaper young actors they are signing on.

They're gonna write Nikki off? What a shame. Melody Scott and Eric Braedon have been the best for their parts, IMO, as Nikki and Victor have been the most stable(?) couple in GC, I think for the longest time so far, right? Bummer. Oh well.
This Mary Jane is two cans short of a six pack and like a ceramic plate spinning on a stick. Don't you all think she's imbalanced? Heh, I especially liked her talking to her stuffed cat. Who's going to find her out?
Nick better find out where his heart lies....poor Phyliss is getting more bitter by the minute, and Sharon, I don't think, knows where her heart belongs by now. What do you all think?

Virginia Beach, VA - Sat Jun 6 15:02:04 MDT 2009

I'm not a huge Nikki fan but will hate to see her go. I can remember her as a teenager...the little slut...LOL!! It makes sense now why she and Victor are making amends. It will make for a much more poignant moment when she goes.

If Nick is lying...he is deceiving Phyllis, Jack (and Noah, letting him believe he has a sister again) and worst of all...Summer. He knows what it was like for Cassie to not know her real mother, so he does it to Summer? He was mad at Sharon...why?...because she was mourning and needed her husband to be there for her and he chose hot sex to distract him???? If he lied for his own selfish reasons, with no thought how it would effect anyone else....he is cruel, heartless and evil and every bit as controling as Victor.

In the previews, Adam looked really distraught when Ashley collapsed...wonder why when he drove her to it. Who is his friend who drove him to the hospital? Maybe Sabrina is still alive.

Okay,
Eric Says Nikki is out ( hate that a whole lot, but her husband Ed Scott was fired from YR after many many years I think he did DOOL for a while but he's not there anymore either)
So what if MaryJane kills Nikki because of Paul? MJ gets some real PSYCHO looks on her face when someone makes her unhappy.Scary girl.

The foolish foursome just make me sick...bleeeck. Nick and Sharon and Jack and Phyllis. Way too many bodily fluids swapped between them.
We did see the look on Nicks face when he read Summers DNA test.Then I believe we saw him planning his get-to-gether with Phyl. They had such passsion between them then.I always thought he lied to everyone.He was pretty mad at Sharon then too. I think.

Summer is sure a laid back character. Often the children have been little perky super-actor kids. Remember Nina's Phillip? Cassie, and another little Abbot kid who is now super-aged -actor.

Maine - Sat Jun 6 06:40:24 MDT 2009

Pinkie: Just turn it off! I do sometimes. You'll need your eyes for other things...like sunsets and babies, etc.

I can't bring myself to hate Adam. First, the actor is so damn cute. And also because I think he was treated very badly from the beginning. This week Nick told him that Victor will never forgive him. Geez, why not. Did Nick forget that Victor forgave him when he turned him into the feds and risked him being imprisoned. Maybe when there's a new actor, more burley and scarry I'll feel differently.

I LOVE mashed potatoes and often have them for dinner...I mean, JUST mashed potatoes, nothing else. Either mashed or whipped, depending on how much time and energy I have. I use half and half, real butter and a generous dollop of sour cream...yum!

Mary W: I'm in the corner with you. I'm enjoying Y&R and think it's been pretty good. A lot going on and moving quickly. Sure I complain and get frustrated at certain things, but it's a good outlet for those emotions. Actually, I kind of feel like a new mom too. My daughter went back to work last March and I've been watching my two year old grandaughter full time. I love it, she is cute and fun, but it can be tiring. She's a good sleeper, takes 3 to 3 1/2 hour naps, goes down easily. I used to never "watch" Y&R. I would just have it on while doing other things and just glance at it once in a while. Now nap time is my time to make lunch, turn on Y&R and give it my full attention. Surprisely, it's very enjoyable.

Why is everybody so certain that Jack is Summer's father??? I know it could be a possibility and that DNA tests are wrong as often as they are right on the show. I don't believe Nick would have lied back then or continue to lie about it. Is there something I missed?

Phyllis did some really good acting yesterday, but I can't feel sorry for her, she so deserved it. Sleeping with a married man, especially when he and his wife are in mourning is so, SO wrong.

I like Nick and Sharon together. As someone said, yes she is vanilla, but so is he. Phyllis is red hot chili pepper, Jack is milk of magnesia...LOL! I think Phyllis has met her match with Mary Jane. Get out the popcorn...it will be a very ugly fight.

Complaint...why doesn't the show have real psychological disorders instead of weird, unrealistic stuff. Why not bi-polar or OCD. Who ever heard of someone stealing things or sleeping around, etc, as a disorder. If they do steal it's a compulsion they do knowingly and can't stop. And why is Sharon okay now...did she just snap out of it. And Ashley's condition is pure insanity. You don't just snap out of that either.

Pinkie: I agree with you whole heartedly (re: Jun 5 entry). Let this Adam thing and the sick Mary Jane scenarios come to a head and end it already. If Jack and Phyllis got back I'd be satisfied, but not dramatic enough for writers, am sure. I agree with(?) that Paul catching MJ talking to her "cat" would be cool.
Yes, y'all, Gloria and Jeffery are a comic addition to the show as, I think, Jill would be, provided she's not bitchin' about something.

Virginia Beach, VA - Fri Jun 5 19:32:37 MDT 2009

Hi, gang. Haven't watched Y&R most of the week until today. Oi! When poor Ashley kept hearing her name whispered over and over, I said, "Find the speaker or tape recorder. Come on!" Then with the veiled body of 'Sabrina' walking around, I was hoping Adam would sneeze or something to give himself away. It's Friday, I thought, how long they gonna milk this? Am I right?
Now with Nick, I saw he was finally showing his colors, braking Phyliss' heart and all. But like some of you I think he and Sharon are soul mates.
Jill as a comic? Yeah. Change is good. -rc

Jean: Had to laugh, I'm a hand masher, what better way to get your frustrations out on cooking for the multitudes who sit on their duffs waiting to be served!!!!!

Pinkie: My oh My what a post, right to the point and dead on accurate. Holy smoke, I am sure with all the bed hopping half of Genoa City has worst problems than the H1N1.

Mary Beth, loved your "come to Jesus" comment, very clever.

Susan, Canes DNA showed not conclusive, in other words he was not eliminated to not be the father. So that says there is some degree of match between him and Billy. Of course he could have got some of Phillips hair etc.. and used it for the DNA test. I think I missed the show where that was done.

Willie: re the Sabrina statue, I agree, especially seeing as he moved on to another bed partner less than 3 months after Sabrina death. I loved the dream where Sabrina appeared to Ashley and told her it was OK. nice touch. What really blows my mind is all the money these guys have and the cheap off the rack headstones they use for the show. God my dog has better. I'm surprised Victor doesen't have his own mauseleom on the property. Be cheaper to stick an engraved plaque on the wall and would likely look better than the crappy tombstones they use

Mary W - could for you enjoying Y&R, some of us just enjoy complaining about it!!! ........You know it's a true story!

As for ADAM, hate the role he is playing but love the idea he has the courage to stand up for his personal, moral and ethical convictions even if it meant him leaving the show. Few are willing to stand up for what they beleive to be right these days because of the onslaught of others judgement so good for him.

Truly am sick of the one mess after another the gruesome foursome get themselves into. Enough already, grow up and make some smart decisions. Can't imagine the govenor being too pleased at them throwing his name around continuously...friends in high places. Should take back his clemency and send them all to jail. Someone should really start to pay for all the Y&R crimes.

Glo and Jeffery together are a riot, well matched and of course nobody can outsmart Victor.

Ghosts!!!! have you ever seen a show where there are so many visits from the past. I actually don't mind it but for God's sake, let them be useful ghosts. As for John Abbott, I think his heaven is Bimbo land, let him start pointing out things, giving the heads up etc.. make Y&R more fun. Love the Sabrina caring ghost, but don't ya think she should have pushed Adam down the stairs!! Cassie too could be a great ghost, bringing her parents back to gether, helping her brother with all he has been going through, finding her twin who was lost at birth....

I thought maybe Philly would take off with Summer and leave Nick at the Ranch....they'd get into a car crash (everybody on Y&R does) and then Summer would need blood and finally Jack would discover he has a daughter. Oh, Jack, I want to raise this child Jack, trying raising the one you had with Diane.

I thought for a while that Mary Jane might be Diane with a new face but looks more like a Paul relative now.

Cane.....whad I tell you, from the beginning, Scumbag.

I Hate Adam hate him he is pond scum i dont care what reason they come up with when they try to redeem him what a horriable story and so far fetched that he gets away with everything he set out to do...
Maary/Jane/Jo / who ever she is now looks wacked .. Yawn!!
Jack, Sharon. Nicklass .and Deserve what you get Phylass is just working my nerves.. Do i want Nick with Sharon Yes .. Phylis with Jack Yyes so he then can raise HIS daughter Summer... but stop the madness already...
I feel for Chloe I truly do she needs to kick Willy to the curb and let him be with Mack .. Chole deserves better because (IMHO) she has really turned around and tried to change and be a ggo wife & Mother ...
Caine. is running a close second to Adam..
Jills still a Bitch and Paul Kay and Murry are almost forgotten ....Love Nina being back ..

I just realized something while reading the posts...I've always wondered why, when I've enjoyed Y&R, a lot of other ppl in the chatroom are disgusted with it. Then, I wondered, are they disgusted at the actual SHOW or are they disgusted at what's HAPPENING on the show? Any thoughts? Just my opinion--I think the show's been great....*sneaks off in a corner* I think I'm in the minority

It's neat that Canada, Texas and Denver all being represented on the Bachelorette this season. For some reason, Cactus and other Canadians, I was surprised to find out Jillian likes country music, I don't know why...is it popular up there? Man that Texan Jake suuuurrree cleaned up nice in his cowboy attire!!

RE things happening in 3's--on 911 it was also three--the towers, the pentagon and Pennsylvania.

I use mixer for mashed taters, and I leave the skins on...too lazy to peel plus I like them better that way anyway. Does anyone else leave skins on?

we are breaking heat records here and it's killin' me -- i am NOT a hot chick at all !!!

of course not many homes in seattle have air conditioning because we really don't need it that much (it was 84 today and the record was 82 -- so for you southerners i know that's nothing) but when we do need it and we do not have it, it suddenly becomes "go to a movie -- any movie" time really really fast

It's hard to imagine why Victor would want that statue around. It can only make him sadder when he looks at it. Of course, it is serving a useful purpose by freaking Ashley out!
How many times is it now that Billy is trying to reform? But maybe all bets are off since Chloe found out he diddled Sharon on his wedding day.

And why do they keep showing him singing the same song, are they trying to promote him?? I don't see what she sees in Wes or the foot fetish guy. I also like Robby the bartender and I think Michael the break dance instructor is cute and funny but IDK if he's marriage material.

Hey, gang! Haven't watched in a few days, nor have I posted, but I agree with toots and willie. These "trysts" cojoinings(?) are ridiculous sometimes. Yeah, sometimes you wonder which new couple is going to kiss first? Amber is difficult to pair with anybody, IMO. Kevin and Jana, I think, belong 2gether, but she's so superstitious...
Willie, it would be great to see Caine and Lily remain together, but his past is, well, you know. Questionable.

Isn't Corbin Bernsen Jeanne Coopers son?

Bachelorette...whoever said it, yes, some real weirdos. Like the foot guy, why does she keep picking him. I also don't like Wes...creepy. I'm not crazy about Juan but I really can't stand David, the guy who wants to kill him. That guy has a real problem. She does have some really great guys though. Can't think of his name but I love the Chicago guy, who she did the high wire thing with. I love Jake...sweet and gorgeous smile.

Willie: Of all my complaints regarding the show and there are many, top of the list is the switching partners thing...like Sharon/Nick/Phyllis/Jack. I really hope they don't do that with Amber and others...although it is looking that way.

Thanks to all who sent suggestions on getting posts accepted. nurse connie, can't find yours, there's so much stuff to scroll back on but thanks anyway.

HQ thinks Mary Jane is Diane whom I don't remember at all, which is nothing new!

They keep throwing Kevin with Amber and Janna with Daniel. Here we go again! I'm taking bets on which couple will start off with a passionate kissing scene. (Oh, God I hope I'm wrong!)

Appliances. Mary and I had a used set of Kennmore, washer,(top load) and dryer when we were married. Other then heating elements, I replaced twice in the dryer, we had the set for 20 plus years. White in color. Now have a new set,(white) and have worked well for last ten years, and like the "ever ready bunny" are still agitating along! Electric stove and Refrigerator are 30 yrs old and are Hot Point. Time for new ones there as they have more energy efficient ones on the market.

No Y&R for awhile now! Been busy working for my sister, in my spare time building a ????????

Trivia:
How many of you have ever seen or heard of a Yurt? (that is what I am building). 20' diameter.

MaryB - I did scope out all of grocery, UPS stores, etc, and they didn't have any 2 cent stamps. BUT I lucked out - 2 people ahead of me and 3 windows going. I was blessed today!!

Loved Corbin on LA Law.

Was reading SOD in the check out, and the actor that played Phillip III was totally caught off guard that he was asked to come back to Y&R. But dang, the line moved fast and I couldn't read the whole article. He did say he was about to bust not being able to tell what the story line is.

Jean, Post OFfice baffles me constantly. We have scoped out local businesses with US mail help. Like a local grocery store has a small post office window...as does a dry cleaners, and the UPS mail store sells all stamps and mails packages for small fee. I just don't go to PO unless its absolutely necessary.

Re appliance colors, sure I remember those colors. We almost bought a Poppy refrigerator once in the 70's.

Watching Bachelorette....there's some really wierd guys on there. The producers must MAKE her select some of the people so the wierdos hang around and make the show dramatic. She seems like a nice woman.

Mary B - yeah Corbin Benson is great....good to hear he is returning, I'm assuming just for a while. He and Paul are going to figure out this PJ. And I'm with you, the show is working my last nerve too.

Regarding front loader washers....I didn't spend a fortune to need "special stuff" for my washer, and certain rotation of washing your things (towel with bleach last). As I said, give me a top loader any time. LOVE my dryer tho.....it has things done in minutes. As for colors.....blaa haaa....remember avacado green and harvest gold appliances?!?!?!? So buyers beware, stick to white. LOL

Later - got to get some 2 cent stamps...I have a whole roll of 42 cent stamps. But the line has been unbelievable at the post office, alway is really, since they have one, maybe two windows open at a time. How many breaks can a person have??? Grrrr.

I have a front loader,it was said they use less water.It does, but I think think there are other issues with it.I'm not sure the towels get so clean. It says you have to use HE formula soap, which I quickly didn't believe. WELL BELIVE IT> When HE soap isn't used, the scum from the soap deposits somewhere in the tub and makes it smell terrible. I went online and googled SMELLY FRONT LOADER. LOL there were quite a few results,and it expelained what to do. I tried all the free things home remedies...and it helped, but when you close the washer after you are finished with laundry, it comes back. So I ordered some SMELLY WASHER fixer and I'm using it as we speak. It also says to do your bloeach loads last and to use hot water. with hot water.I'd say I got 10 years out of my washers.Had one GE that needed parts real early on, but when replaced the thing lasted a long time. Now I have KEnmore. I noticed the family down the street got a new set, and they are TEAL colored. There are some pretty colors Silver, Teal, Red, ORange Navy BLue. Mine are white.

The show is working on my last nerve. They should fire everyone and start the story after the Big Flood that lasted 30 days and 30 nights.All that was left was the history of Genoa City book.

What's with these neighborhoods with covenants, where if your grass dies because of inclement weather or some kind of bug disease kills your grass, you get a ticket with a large fine? Even if you've already re-seeded the dead part and are waiting for the new grass to come in??

Seems very unfair to me, this happened to my sister.

i'm a nick/phyllis fan -- sharon is just too "vanilla" for me -- and she's becoming more and more wishy-washy with all this moving in and out of poor stupid jack's mansion

i agree wholeheartedly that something very bad is going on with the writers of the show -- engagements, marriages, babies -- and one crazy scheme after another (adam, gloria, jill, phyllis . . .) -- very misguided and ridiculous -- but, as we have said, the acting seems to be getting better and better (except, in my opinion, the new mac)

willie -- i am sorry you are having trouble getting in, your posts are always interesting to me (as are everyone's -- but willie's are going into the ethernet and that is sad and frustrating)

Cactus, Jean, + Willie: I agree w/ y'all. Sharon and Nick belong together like...well, you know what I mean. But they gotta keep the story interesting so an affair here, a baby there, rough turf marriage, murder, etc., just to keep'em watching.
Now that reminds me, this Adam character needs prison or something, heck, just for a change. And right, why hasn't Victor caught on? Maybe because he doesn't believe "blind" Adam can mysteriously make these things of [Vic's late wife]curiously appear. Someday, writers, someday.
You're right, gang, this tune's gone on too long.

Virginia Beach, VA - Fri May 29 19:13:05 MDT 2009

Willie, you made it in! I agree that Nick and Sharon seem to be more suited that Nick and Phyllis. Especially because Nick is one of the few characters who is a straight-up guy, and we cannot forget that Phyllis has attempted murder plus done a lot of nastiness in her past. It would seem that Jack should understand her, as he can be a scoundrel, too. Besides, being a romantic, I want to see the teen lovers reunited.

Jean's right, I think we can expect this four-angle triangle and baby story drag on for months yet.

Okay, so now Sharon goes to the mag to tell Nick she's staying with Jack and lo and behold! Another really passionate smooch. HQ and I have thought for years now that Nick and Sharon really do belong together and that sooner or later the PTB will acknowledge that. Of course they can string this out for years more but of all the couples on here, they seem to us to be really and truly suited, going back to Cassie as a baby! What do you guys think?

WILLIE: I think I may have a solution on your problems not being able to access the Chat Book. In my experience, if I have had a long post, or sometimes left the computer and returned, it does time out on me. Do you find the problem primarily with long posts? Also, if I have typed Newman so fast I made a mistake and have to correct it, that can cause no access. I suggest you go ahead and type in your post, then cut it out, exit the site, get back in, paste, and get out as fast as you can. See if that makes any difference.

Did Adam parties get any phones....NO!!! I tried for three hours to vote 10 times, and these jerks could vote ten times at once!! Someone at AT&T must be homophobic??!! Fox denies of course.

I think, even as hurt as she is, Phyllis wants to stay in control. She was suprised Jack didn't do anything about his knowledge of the affairs mentioned. Oh, and Jack really looked hurt when ever-loving Phyllis said her love 4 Nick was more than any other man.
Yes, Pink, I agree. If we look at the Jack of old we'll see how he's changed. Maybe it was the visions of his dad that did it, eh?

When is Sharon going to reveal the posibility of Billy's fatherhood?
Oh, he just found out from her.
But Jack's compassion, to me, still is most noticeable.
I feel sorry for Phyliss now, though. Nick will have to take the wheel and make a decision.

VaBch, VA - Thu May 28 11:27:42 MDT 2009

The one thing I've realized in this whole scenario between Nick, Sharon, Jack, and Phyllis, and that's Jack's compassion. Yet Nick, on the other hand, should let go for now; let the matter take it's course, and fight for parental rights later. Granted, everyone's marriages there are screwed up('scuse the pun) but maintaining everyone's wrongs, which everyone knows about, wont't help the situations. What do y'all think? Am I being to simplistic 'bout this?

Virginia Beach, VA - Thu May 28 11:07:24 MDT 2009

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but twice now, I have seen Jill's feet in a brief glimpse and she wears fluffy house shoes in scenes on the show. Once, when she was in Victor's office, they accidently showed her feet and she had on pink fluffy scuffs. While I was watching yesterday's show, I got a quick glimpse of gray fluffy scuffs. If you think about it, they hardly ever show anyone's feet, but you can hear heels clicking on the bare floors, so you know they are wearing heels, but not her. She is always dressed to the nines, but has on house shoes. I guess no one on the show catches these booboos. I'm sure they are not supposed to show her feet. It is a hoot. It doesn't happen very often.

If anybody has it taped, go back and watch when she walks out on the patio where Choloe and the baby are. It's while she is looking at the baby in the carriage.

the guy playing Y&R adam is just evil looking -- his "evil grin" is so compelling that he actually gets cuter when he tries it (IMO) -- no wonder he wants to leave -- he might be such a nice man in real life that playing a bad dude upsets him -- stranger things have happened

You can watch When Jack walked over a Dying Victor when Cassie died . when Brad was held prisoner .. great sight
the list

Hi Toots the weather has been wonderful here Hot as usual but NO complaints from me ..
When my Best Friend was here for a visit she couldnt go into the pool because it was to cold temp was 76. I told her it was because she was still frozen from Ohio winter ..
Mr P started new treatment and is doing ok Thank you for asking Good to see you posting ... I think Chole is really trying to be a good wife and Its hard for any women to have a old Love come into the picture even when you have a good marriage .. Billy is a snake and I hope he losses it all ...

Jack really showed his anger and his care for Billy. Yet Sharon never really told Nick, did she? And poor Chloe. She looked so hurt. Billy boy, wise up.

Wow, that was to cool seeing the old Nina character again...do you all have that soap moment like me when someone leaves a show and you say that's it, I watch no more! Did it with Lauri Brooks, years ago. Remember her? She was to marry Victor to get back Lance's company, left the ring in the courthouse restroom and took off never to be seen again. Did it again with Nina's character but in the words of somebody...they keep pullin' me back. Ah soapland. But the acting lately has been top notch.

Oh yeah, ADAM fans I did mention a few days about the Queens offer but I hear he might want to be so locked in to one gendre. He is so mulitalented, he can really do it all.

I, too, don't get the Philip/Cane connection at all.
LOVED Chloe's sweater and her necklace that complimented the yellow. She is one character who has grown on me.
Never thought I'd say it, but think new Mac is stepping up to the plate and delivering better acting.
Is Nick going to make the same decision AGAIN and stay with Phyllis?
ADAM LAMBERT fans rejoice! The quitarist from Queen interviewed in Rolling Stone said they will soon be having a "meaningful" conversation with Adam re joining the Band. What a huge break for the young talent. Also, have so enjoyed seeing Kris on the talk-show circuit, Leno, Regis & Kelly, etc. He seemed so shy during the season, but has such an engaging personality it is hard not to love him. Of note: Regis asked him what the "big judge" Simon said when he won and Kris replied that he has never heard anything from Simon. What a pompous (insert expletitve here).

Jean, I would say the items steam more than bake because of the hot rocks and the seawater. The seafood is indeed alive, the lobsters they usually put tail to tail in a couple of rows in the center of the seaweed as they can only back up to move on dry land so this holds them in place.

Could the Philip on the phone be a twin (in soapland) that we never knew about if indeed Kay swithced "babies", since we knew the Philip that looked just like this guy (on the phone )that Jill raised as her son until he died in the car accident? Just a thought.

Y&R - just watched. That bartender is the real Phillip from years ago....so what is up?? Did he not really die from the car wreck??? But took off. Doesn't want to go back so he sent Cain??? Holy Guacamole. I'm very confussed. And Mac with Raul...ZZZZZZ. I remember (some of you liked Raul), but I alway thought he was a snore and a bore. And really, what Brittney saw in him I'll never know.

Mary Maine - thanks for the interesting info. So you do bake everything. See we boil. We have the exact items you do, corn, potatoes, clams, sausage, etc. but we have a huge pot and put things in a different times so everything is done at the same time. Now, are your lobsters alive? Ours are (we give them a quick death, I won't watch that part), but our crab and clams are not. Oh, and yeah, gotta have that dippin' butter. (PMP regarding the egg...I wondered where that was going...LOL)

Later - crock with chicken and veggies tonight.

Jean, a true Maine lobster bake consists of the following:building a fire pit (traditionally on the rocky beach)using hardwood for the fire. Start fire with the hardwood with papers underneath it as a starter and let burn until the wood is gone then the rocks will hold the heat then seawater soaked seaweed is added with wrapped potatoes and onions (in aluminum foil) and placing on top of the seaweed in the pit with corn on the cob (with most of outer husks shucked off) on top of that and lobsters on top of that with clams and mussels, periwinkles(sometimes placed in bundles of cheesecloth) and sometimes sausage on top of the lobsters.Layer of the seaweed again with an egg placed near the corner of the pit. The whole thing is covered with aluminum foil and weighted down with bricks and cooked for about and hour with a seawater soaked tarp on top or aluminum plates that are weighted down with cinder blocks. A pot of butter is placed on top so that it melts to dunk the seafood in. When you open the pit up a lot of steam will burst forth so you have to stay clear and then you check the egg to see if it is hard boiled and if it is your ready to eat. The rocks have to be drenched in seawater to be cooled so their is no chance of fire or someone falling in and getting burned and the whole thing cleaned up, the seaweed is all that can remain on the beach.
At the college they use large cinder block pits where we are 50 miles from the coast, but the product is still yummy for those that can enjoy. I'm allergic to seafood!

I felt so sorry for Jack, he truly loves Sharon, but I had to chuckle a little when he talked to Billy about sleeping with the woman he(Jack) loved after he had treated Billy so well, I remembered back to when he slept with Jill and got her pregnant when she was married to his father.

Mary Maine - okay what is a lobster bake. We always do a boil for lobster and crab.

Cactus - yes there is a void in rock music right now, and it is time for some new music....and Adam fits the bill...for teen, 20's, and us oldies.

MaryW - I LOVED when Kara came out and showed up bikini chick. Kara basically took over the song and stage for that matter, and bikini chick wasn't a happy camper. (Giggle)

Survived the holidays. His mother was great 80% of the time. After three days you run out of stuff to say or do, so it was definately time for them to go. Dan and I had the clean linens on, towels done, cleaned the bath and bedroom....all within two hours. Gotta have my house in order and back to normal.

Later - will watch Y&R while working out. All that potato salad, beans, brisket, ribs, out to lunch, etc, etc, packed a few pounds on....and I don't gain weight easily. Yikes.

Sorry. He has three people angry at him; Jack, Chloe, and Nick. Now, I think Phyliss should've kept her mouth shut. But that's Phylass. I know the poor girl's heart is broke but still....

Don Diamont is on The Bold and The Beautiful.

We went to the girl's wedding yesterday who lived two houses down from us since she was a little girl. We call her our adopted daughter. She used to be here all the time playing with my daughters, to Halloween parties,meals, swimming in our pool, went to church sometimes with us or if she accidentally locked herself out of her house she would show up at our door. She would even come after school when I would get home from work if my girls were at practices for me to help her with her homework, I remember she was so proud when she got an A in spelling, her dad couldn't believe it at the time.

Her mom made her gown and five of the other dresses for the wedding party , they were lovely. The theme was a beach wedding (although inside) her invitations had seashells on them and the bows on the pews at the chapel were made of netting and a slim teal ribbon in the center to match the bridesmaids gowns with small seashells glued on the ribbon in the center. At the reception there were tiny sand pails on the tables with sand dollars threaded through the ribbon to hold the candies inside the pails, a giant clam shell her mom made out of paper mache and material to hold the cards. Shells and starfish around hurricane candle vases filled with layers of sand, sea glass and shells with a candle in the middle with the vases sitting on a woven rope mat on each table. A canopy of teal netting over the dance floor with an ornamental sand castle on each corner holding the netting down. It was pretty and simply done. Fireman couldn't hold back a few tears when she came over to give him a hug and of course everyone wanted a picture at that moment!lol

Today was graduation day at the college I work at, of course it had to rain during the outside ceremony and then clear off about the second the last student received their degree! It was a busy weekend preparing for it and the dinners, and lobster bakes, and dances that they have over the weekend before and after the ceremony. Lots of proud moms and dads from all over the world and the U. S.!

Ladybug and Jean: I guess the final word, IN MY OPINION, on Idol is that middle America just wasn't ready for Adam yet. I was watching the finale with some young people, and as the "stars" came out, Rod Stewart, Queen, Kiss, Lionel Ritchie, etc., they commented, "What's with all the old guys?" When you think about it, the rock bands we loved are indeed getting to be the "old guys." I think Adam can fill the niche that is basically empty right now and revive rock in a huge way. Most of the young people who voted are more into Kris's type of music, IN MY OPINION.

From what I read, the actor playing Adam was not happy with the direction Y & R was taking his character. To be the evil guy, plus now making the moves on another man. (Although I had also read that Philip will return and HE will put the moves on Rafe.) Proving as usual you can't believe everything you read. I'm sure they could have done much more with Adam's character, too. Hopefully, he will land on his feet; he has the talent.

What show is Don Diamont on now?

Willie--I always save my post in notepad before I post it in case what happens to you happens to me. Then I have it temporarily saved until my post goes through then I just delete it from the notepad.

I thought the best part of the AI finale was when Kara (the judge) had the singing contest with Bikini Girl and then Kara flashed everyone.

I also loved Adam singing with Kiss and loved his black metal shoulder pad thingies! Did you check out all their shoes?! Someone said Adam was going to be the new Queen singer--Freddie Mercury is a legend, but I think he could do it!

Hi gang. Did not get to see all of y&r today, but what I did see was that Jack was uncharacteristically sensitive to Sharon's emotional needs and told Nick(lol with someone's nickname-ahem-for him few days ago)to lay off Sharon. Thought that was wise of Jack. Btw, don't y'all know he and Sharon will meet anyway?
The actor playing 'Adam' left the show? Was it really cause his character was supposed to be gay? Oh well. Or was someone referring to the singer who lost? Not watching Idol leaves me a bit confused.
All of you have a great weekend.

We haven't seen today's show yet but apparently something is going to happen with Adam? I don't blame the actor for wanting off-they have made him such an awful person it must be hard for him to act the part!
RaRa, I like your plots but having Edan marry Nick is just a bit too far out.
Whoever mentioned lame story lines, right on! And one more gripe about Mac- if she really wasn't interested in Billy, why did she decide to stay in GC? She was supposed to leave but at the last minute changed her mind. And whoever pointed out she has his cell phone on speed-dial, that's another boo-boo. And the constant exchange of glances between her and Billy is getting pretty old!
Hope this goes thru.

There have been so many posts since I managed to get on, I despair of being able to comment on them! Whoever suggested I may not have typed "newman" correctly, and thus got rejected, I guess that's possible. If Zack reads all these, I'd like to ask him what criteria he uses to bounce a post, or is it automated? I know he doesn't like to post himself but I'm really feeling bad about what happened to me. I spent a half-hour creating comments on a lot of stuff and got blown away. Some guidelines would help. .I realize this is a free post and we're all indebted to him for maintaining it but I guess it's a hangover for when I was a short-story writer and had to endure what seemed like millions of rejections. (I did get published several times in mags no one ever heard of).

They were known for hanging around the Newman pool in their bathing suits every summer. Raul had a storyline on juvenile diabetes. I have no idea what happened to Phillip, who, yes, was also supposed to show up in Genoa City.

It is apparent that Cane is not who he is presenting himself to be. Poor Lily, just can't win.

I think Y & R tried a storyline that just didn't work, with Adam as the "evil" son. Too bad if he leaves, as I thought he was a good actor. I assume his deeds will be found out and that's how he will exit the show.

i was happy kris won -- he needed the win to potentially become a star, adam did not -- however, i too, wondered about the voting --

i don't know why i care who the heck mary jane really is, but i have been obsessing about it -- ugh -- now i think it would be interesting if she is really paul's ex wife, heather's mom -- could create quite the conflict since paul is now engaged to nicki

wonder if all this obsessing is because the show is driving me crazy right now with its lame story lines

hmmmm, quite the quandry -- does an actor not do a role because of personal beliefs which he counts on to get him through life, or does he do a role because he wants a job and is part of a cast that counts on him ??

i've grown to like adam a lot and think he is a good actor, so i will miss him, but he's gotta do what he's gotta do . . . might be difficult for him to get another acting job

here is what I read On Soap central.com

The Young and the Restless is dealing with the sudden departure of yet another of its stars. In the latest surprise exit, Chris Engen has allegedly walked out in protest over an upcoming same-sex storyline. The actor joined the cast of Y&R just over a year ago.

The cast and crew of The Young and the Restless is reeling over the walkout of yet another of its stars. Chris Engen (Adam Wilson) made the sudden decision to quit the show in protest over an upcoming storyline… a storyline that involves a same-sex kiss.

Engen is said to have picked up the latest show script and learned through reviewing his lines that his character was going to be getting intimate with attorney Rafe Torres (Yani Gellman). Months of frustration over the direction of his storyline and lack of airtime exploded in a confrontation between Engen and the show's production team. According to sources, Engen has long felt that the writing for Adam was going in the wrong direction.

Setside sources told TVGuide Canada, "Chris hasn't been happy for a while. He doesn't like the dark direction his character is taking. He's called in sick a lot recently and has been taking a slew of meetings with Y&R's [executives] to discuss his future on the show."

Although Engen is well-known for keeping his personal life separate from his career, some are wondering if his personal beliefs may conflict with his character's storyline. The 29-year-old Engen is a graduate of Bishop Montgomery High School, a Catholic school in his hometown of Torrance, California. The school's mission statement reads, in part, "We serve the needs of the Church and the larger community by providing intellectually mature persons who have learned to integrate world knowledge with Catholic beliefs and values."

Cactus you need to check your facts. Oh yes Kris WAS in the bottom 3. His performances were mediocre compared to Adams throughtout the season and yes Adam will be a STAR regardless. I think most peoples gripes is the sneaking suspicion that there was either foul play or some error regarding votes because I and others could not get thru to Adams lines and the numbers just don't add up for a finale show. Just under 100 million votes when the phone lines were open 4 hours and 38 million of them came from Arkansas? PLEASE ! They should investigate this. Even Kris said the title belonged to Adam.

Rara: Interesting, what are your stats to date on predicting the future? I do think a Jill pregnancy is a bit of a stretch, but you never know in soap land.

IDOL: I am just laughing at all the crybabies. Kris was never in the bottom three all season, which shows he always had a strong vote. However, just watch Adam go when he is not under the thumb of American Idol. Too many Idols have faded from sight because of the disastrous first album. By the time they can have their own say (Kelly Clarkson has fought for this), often they have had their 15 minutes of fame and it's too late for them. I think Kris will find his own niche in time and hopefully be successful.

Been awhile since I posted.

What do they know about true rock and roll. Adam's rendition of Led Zeplins Whole lot of love was fantastic. Been the old broad I am that is my kind of music. I think he deserved to win and acording to my paper this morning so did Kris. But as it was pointed out he will go far.

Im so happy that Kris won . I have been watching videos all morning on line and reading many postings, everyone thinks that because Adam is gay is the reason he didnt win ,well many that posted that said they were gay said they didnt vote for Adam because his type of music isnt what they listen to , Adam being more of a rocker type .and Simon did stand up for Kris he stood up twice for him . I liked Kris from the very beginning like the sound in his voice here Adam is a screamer JMHO .. You can look at videos of Simom

gloomy day but warm - Thu May 21 11:33:23 MDT 2009

American Idol - watched till after midnight just to be disapointed. Lots of reasons for Kris winning, from getting Danny's voters, to religious groups voting for him, to the tweens vote. Simon was pissed. He didn't even get up when his name was announced. Not to worry, Adam will do just fine. As Cactus stated once....it is probably for the best, this way he is not under Idol's thumb.

NC - our plans for the holiday....ho, ho, his parents are blowing into town Friday and staying thru Monday. Need I say more. Oh, I made a hair appt for MIL. Her hair looks like a matted wet dog, so I'm going to take her to my hair dresser. Dan told his dad, please, she must have some digity, get her a "standing" appt each week. And also, it is going to be getting down to brass tacks. Where is your will, what are your wishes, what about your finances, when to put MIL in asst living. We don't know anything....and Dan is the only one...so a talk way overdue.

Ladybug: I agree the violence on TV is a bit much, but some is more entertaining than other nighttime dribble. That's the reason shows like 'Star Trek' were written back in the late 60's, during the VietNam War. Shows like that were a release from the reality that inundated our TV's daily, with body counts, loss of territory gained, realization of lies told. Though I favored that war at its start, by '70 with the loss of four students at Kent State, I changed my tune.
Sorry I dribbled so long. It's getting late.

Jean does it cost $ to vote on AI? Does it take a long time to get through on the phone?

Also Cactus RE the guy telling Jillian she was more attractive than expected; maybe he meant she was more beautiful in person?

Also did anyone notice 2 things on the Bachelorette:

When she was meeting the guys coming out of the limos the train of her dress was getting all dirty from being on the wet cement. Also did anyone notice during the rose ceremony--(yes I looked at her butt)--what was up with those two little bumps on her butt, one on each cheek, towards the bottom of her butt? Anyone else see that?

I also found it hysterical that the Greg guy, the stuck up model that called himself a 10, got kicked off on the first night. Bwahahahaha

Y&R - Just saw about two minutes....when Mac was listening to the CD, and called Billy. If she is not interested in Billy, why does she have his cell phone number??

Dancing with Stars - VERY disapointed Gilles did not win!!!!!! He was first in 8 shows, Melissa 3, and Shawn only 1. Judges said Gilles has the most judges points of any star since the show began years ago. Thats not right that he didn't win. I wonder about voters sometimes. They judge the last show and not the whole package.

American Idol - I thought all songs were rather a snooze fest. Adam calmed it down a bit, so that he could get Danny's votes, and it just didn't work for me....even tho I voted for Adam. See again....all over presentations, not just one night.

Later - headed downtown, and then to a baseball game.

Ladybug I was surprised Jillian kept the foot guy as well. And I was surprised she kept the big tall guy from England that needed subtitles because he didn't seem like her type. I like that they had 30 guys instead of 25--lucky girl! I noticed for the first time there were 2 men from Denver.

Ladybug I can't stand those violent TV shows you mentioned--I can't even stand to watch the commercials for them. It's like you can't escape violence: Even when you choose to watch a non-violent TV show like Y&R, you are still forced to watch the commercials for that crap. I always mute the commercials but I've gotten to a point now where I despise seeing the constant images of shooting, murder, punching, blood, etc. that I change the channel for two minutes during the commercial breaks.

Cactus how is your kitty doing.
Mary W <read from here>
CO - Wed May 20 13:51:26 MDT 2009

I am watching The Bachlorette only because Jillian is originally from Alberta, now living and working in Vancouver. I sure hope she finds happiness in the end; stats are against it. What did you think of the guy that said she was much better looking than he expected ... now that's a back-handed compliment.
Y & R - I just can't warm up to the new Mac only because she is not talented like the rest of the crew, but I have seen actors grow over the years before, so here's hoping for her.
IMO Josh Morrow is doing really good acting work right now.
Cactus
Alberta, Canada - Wed May 20 13:06:06 MDT 2009

rcsmiley: My main problem with TV is that so much of it is crime based. There's CSI, Cold Case, on and on. I've never watched one of them and won't. Besides the fictional stuff, you have the dozens of true life murder programs, then you have the actual news...sheesh. No wonder people are stressed and depressed...what can you expect from this steady diet of murder.

I didn't watch DWTS because I can't stand Melissa. I'm so glad she didn't win. I think she is an opportunist who only went on the Bachelor to further her career. Her personality apparently changed as soon as she won. And....I think her anger over it was very faked. She managed to stretch her 15 minutes of fame into a full half hour. I hope that's the end of it.

- Wed May 20 05:30:40 MDT 2009

Ladybug, you're so right. A lot of current sitcoms are predictible, even "Lost", where you wonder, "What's gonna happen next?" The soaps are sometimes like you described, "I wonder if they find out they're related?" (GC is a small town, right?)
I glad Mac was tough enough to kick Billy the kid out the door. And Jill the bitter pill's comments to (?) hiding her brokeness were so typical for her.
But, like Willie I think said, we watch it 'cause it intrigues us, or me anyway.
Say, what do you y'all think of Shawn Johnson winning the prize at DWTS? Sure, she has short, chunky legs and not the dancer's legs that Michelle, her competitor has, but she was so disciplined with great timing, I thought she and her cute smile deserved it.
Well, it's getting late. - rc

Pinkie....tell us what you really think??? LOL!

Anybody watching "The Bachelorette"...anybody, anybody....
Gillian is so cute. If I were a guy or a lesbian she would be my type. She's got quite a nice group of men to choose from. I wish she wouldn't have kept the feet guy. So creepy. I'm surprised the show let him on. I think an extreme foot fetish is a psychological disorder.

I'm enjoying Y&R...although three days of wedding is two days too much! So glad that there is trouble in Tyra-land. Couldn't happen to a more deserving person. I hope she turns out to be Neils long lost baby sister...LOL!! What can I say about Adam? He has a sweet face??? I wish he would put his techno skills to better use. Seems like a wasted effort to just express jealousy or revenge when he has bigger problems. He could be trying to keep himself out of jail, or put Jack in jail where he belongs. I like Mac. In the real world the people in our lives are all very different. Mac isn't the typical cutesy, cover-girl type that is common in soaps. Her quiet, low key style and plain looks is realistic and refreshing...IMO. How can Cane be a bad guy when he gave up Lilly to "do the right thing" by his baby....and then tried for custody cause he wanted the best for Delia?

Regarding tickets...it isn't just the fine, it's the increase in insurance. I wouldn't expect a policeman to know all the fines...it's a very long list.

I loved "Soap" and really loved "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman". Wish they still had those quirky sitcoms. The ones now are so....predictable and boring...IMO.

Also if I were Victor, I would take a trip with Ashley, and not tell anyone, other than Michael where they are, and see if Ashley still acts the same way.
And sweep the house for bugs, etc. They would find all of Adams stuff. Too unreal.

The Philip on the phone with Cane I believe is #2 the one that Jill "Thought" was her son who married Nina and they had Philip #3, however #2 supposedly died in a car crash while OUI.So "If" Philip #2 was switched by Kay when he was a baby then neither he or his son #3 would be true Chancellor's.

MaryW, I remember that Soap show it was real funny at the time. seems like it was on around the time "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" was on. That was a weird, funny one too.

I too am confused with the Phillips. and I don't like the new mac at all I agree with Deb.

We got pulled over 1/2 a block from our house yesterday by the local cops. This week-end was a big festival in town and James was just trying to get home. We sat forever trying to pull across an intersection after the parade and he finally turned left from the right lane just to get home. He told the cop he would still be sitting there waiting if he hadn't done that. He just told him to be more patient and no ticket thankfully.

I got a ticket one time for not changing into the left lane when there was a cop pulled over on the shoulder with his lights on. Didn't even know that was a rule. Yeah, a warning would have been nice since I didn't even know that law existed.

Why doesn't Victor just follow up on the purchasing receipts of Sabrina's look-alike dress/earrings, go to the stores that sold them and ask to see their security video of who bought the dress and earrings--duh!

Adam is worse than I thought as far as not having a conscience--not having any remorse, in fact, finding it humorous, for setting Ashley up after she's been so nice to him is a scary thing.

You would think Ashley would wonder why Sabrina kept saying "next" "next", and put it together that there was a computer voice wave involved.

Deb - I like the new Mac. The old Mac never had much facial expession either. And Mac worked at the homeless shelter, waited tables at the coffee house, and has built houses for the poor. She couldn't care less about money. I can see her being a bartender.

NC - $250.00 OMG. What got me is the rookie officer didn't even know what the fine amount was, gave Dan a booklet, and told him to look it up!!! Can you stand it?? AND we did go thru the booklet and that type of fine is not in there!!! Adn Derrick with a Yorkie...you are kidding, right?? Can see it I tell ya.

adb - so glad you are enjoying Rocky Belle. My Belle seems to be adapting well. Have no desire for another dog, and I think a puppy would overpower Belle, even tho she is active. Buffy was so lazy, that Belle was the "powerhouse", and bringing in an active puppy would probably intimidate her, and would not like it. So leave well enough alone. And so glad you handled the ticket for Bas. Tickets can be VERY upsetting to someone that is a careful driver, or a driver that thinks that they have really done nothing wrong. A warning should do.

Well, I got a new cell phone. My old one was a relick, and just rang. This is like a Blackberry, but by Nokia, and can do everything except cook dinner. LOL I spent all weekend figuring it out. I can get my emails, get into my Real Estate site, even have Chat programed on it....so when we are traveling I can keep up. Never thought I see the day. PMP

IS THIS THE WAY IT WENT?

P-2 There was Phillip Chancellor #2 .. Nina's husband and Jill's son He died in car crash too but was drunk driving.
P-3 And Phillip Chancellor #3 Who was Nina's son, Jill's Grandson and he was about 6 when Nina went to California

Who is the guy on the phone who didn't die P-1 P-2 or P-3 ? P-2 I'm thinking. But P-2 isn't really a Chancellor because Kay switched the baby at birth with a child she bought. Jill's real son was Caine.

Ruidoso - Mon May 18 07:18:57 MDT 2009

Well got a computer again.
Cane & Lily played the happy couple well, they were like two cheshire cats with their unending overdone smiles.
Loved the comment from Amber re: dress, wasn't necessary nice but I thought very real and such comments do happen.
Have said from the beginning Cane was not to be trusted and I still see him as a wife beater. (lily hasn't picked a good one yet)!
I too thought Olivia looked pregnant.
Adam is going to end up really blind (mocking is catching).
The new Mac makes me puke. Someone said her acting was wooden. She is a lousy actress, Pinochio could do a better job. Do they think we are idiots. Her the multimillionare granddaughter working in a dive bar....give me a break. Trying to make her look younger and more hip makes a mockery out of hiring her. IMO she needs to go, there is absolutely no chemistry between her and Billy, but it's hard to have anything with a chunk of wood.
I thought it very touching when Billy kissed her and Chloe saw it and just came over and kissed him herself and told him to come home with her. He is going to see what he has in her...hopefully sooner rather than later. The old Mac & Billy rehash is BORING.
Agree with Jill losing ALL her money, not even close to realistic. I obviously carry more in my wallet than she does.
Katherine wanting to keep all her non relatives as heirs doesnt really make a lot of sense either. She has REAL heirs.
Love her and Murphy together. Though they need to give him a better role than just being Mr. Katherine Chancelor.
I can't stand Phyllis, still think Summer is Jacks kid.
Hate that they are making Sharon a screwball.
Wish I'd a govenor in my pocket I could use amnesty now & again.
Thought Lilly's dress for the wedding dinner was gorgeous.
Loved Chloes necklace.
How long do you think it will be before Cassie comes back as her own long lost twin, stolen at birth.?

Susan, back when Cane first came on the show he was on the phone a couple of times talking to "Someone" that we never saw,we assumed it was his Uncle that he talked about, I am now assuming that it was Philip. The scene they showed the other day I think was a flashback to one of "those" conversations as the Philip they showed was much older than the Philip that was killed (supposedly).

Fireman - Sun May 17 08:13:25 MDT 2009

Well, I am confused. I know that Cain was on the phone with Philip, Jr., but wasn't that supposed to be years ago? Philip is dead and has been for a long time. But what does it mean? Is Cane an imposter? Was Philip in on it before he died? Maybe Philip found out about the switch before he died and got Cane to be the impersonator of the "real" Philip and they were going to split the Chancellor money????? Philip died so now it is all Cane's?? If so, why did Cane wait so long to show up? Of course, someone who you think is really, really nice has to turn out to be a fraud. The people like Jack, Victor, Jill, Glo, ( and now Adam), you never are surprised by their deeds. I'm taxing my brain with all this!!
Susan
Ruidoso - Sun May 17 07:42:08 MDT 2009

Y&R - first, thank you MaryB for the award list. Yeah, Y&R didn't get alot. Okay, Thursdays show......Jeffrey and Glo weren't paying cash for the room, a CREDIT CARD. Unless they are behind on payments, then the card would be fine. Please!! Looks like Jack has joined the threesome to try to take Victor down. HaHa. Fridays, well I must admit I FF thru the vows at the wedding. There have been so many with "personal" vows, I wasn't interested. I wondered when the writers would get a brain fart regarding the call Cain made a couple of years back. Plus in the previews, Jill wants him to take the Challalor name. Hmmm

NCCCCCCCCCCCCC - Dan just got the same ticket you got a few years back.....not changing lanes or slowing down if an "emergency" vehicle is on the shoulder of the road. He saw the police man pulling someone over for a speeding ticket (speed trap in that area), and tried to pull into the next lane, but couldn't, and so he slowed down, 10 miles an hour, and got pulled over by another cop. Said he should have been going 20 miles slower. Talk about a "sting" opperation. Plus the cop didn't even know what the fine was suppose to amount to. ?????

Hi, gang. It seems my chat did not go through. Oh well. It appeared when Caine made that phone call(yes, Willie it ruined the whole spirit of the happy wedding) illustrated the now questionable past Caine must've had prior to arriving at GC, NTM his motives, as you said. (NTM= not to mention).
Was great to see everyone show up, even Jill, the bitter pill.
And it was neat to see our suspicions verified by Adam's actions at the computer. I just hope his antics don't send Ashley to the looney bin. She'd be, I think, the good, even headed, wife for our Victor and their child.- RC

Hard to imagine how people endure these tragedies. Next time my baby cries and I think I'm tired and I'm losing my mind, I'm going to think again!

CO - Sat May 16 16:22:34 MDT 2009

The wedding scene was great and the writers who wrote the dialog did very well. And, of course, after all the beauty and elegance, they had to go and ruin it with that blasted phone call which leads one to believe that Cane may not really be Jill's son and that he had ulterior motives in all that has happened. You see, in a soap, no one is allowed to really enjoy something and believe in it for too long-in this case, about five minutes! Next thing, we'll have Murphy morph into a long-time con man with a history of evil-doing. God forbid they would let something good happen that lasts!

Frankly, this show is beginning to make me sick! We still have Billy hound-dogging Mac, who conveniently now works in the bar Billy likes.
And if the PTB read any of this chatroom they may be chuckling to themselves that they are getting just what they want from us- anger about the strife and double-dealing, but enough interest to make us keep coming back for more.

Tom Bierdz who used to play Jill's son Philip (who was the one that Kay swithched Cane for and who married Nina and died)was the guy on the phone with Cane. In real life he is an artist and several years ago his brother who had mental illness killed their mother. He has written a book about forgiving his brother and his other brother committed suicide.
Mary
Maine - Sat May 16 08:44:54 MDT 2009

The problem is...when they overdo the emotions (perfect day for Caine and Lily So happy kept saying "trust") the opposite emotions will surely come for them. I think I know who the guy on the phone was, oh dear.

The Ashley story is heartbeaking to me. I don't think I can take it going on too much longer. Now that they are revealing how Adam is doing his evil deeds, surely they get the story over...and Ashley in the Psychiatric Hospital...if that's where she's headed. My big question is: WILL THE BABY BE BORN OKAY?

WEll guess I best go have coffee and a apple spice doughnut and stop being so crabby!! LOL Jolly Rogers opened a doughnut shop here and they are wonderful....

Yes, y'all. The wedding was great; and seeing everyone there, including Jill, was terrific too. But the conversation Caine had, in that reverie of the past, cemented my suspicions about why he might have come to GC.
Now as for Adam, well you all know that story. As we suspected, he was involved in Ashley's unsettling fears over her (in)sanity; and maybe the housemaid too, but I doubt it.
adb, seattle: You're right; it was good for that swelled head to be sent home. He tried his darnedest to prove his inner strength, but not w/o food and H2O(hence the sore back). There's strong and there's stupid.
Well, that's enough. Good night, all. - rc

I have to say I enjoyed the wedding today. I thought the vows that Lily and Cane spoke were very fitting and sweet.I also thought that they actually looked naturally happy, almost ready to burst. I loved Kay's top and jacket, she looked so nice.

The flashback that Cane had of the phone call showed another man hanging up and I thought he looked like the boy who used to play Jill's son Phillip.

Graduation is coming up at the college I work at next weekend. I have to say I love this time of the school year, but also regret it some. I have gotten to know so many of the grads over the four years they have been at the college from all over the country and the world that I am torn between gladness for them and their accomplishments and sadness in knowing that many I will never see again. I love getting to meet some of their parents as they arrive for graduation and to see where the students I know have come from.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

i'm here too

but i'm cranky -- i did watch Y&R today and after just about every scene i thought to myself "WTF" (emphasis on the "F" i'm afraid) and i agree 110% that there is definitely a GOOD reason our soap did not get more nominations

anyone watch Survivor -- i was sooooo glad Coach got kicked off last night -- he's one very strange dude

Well I got it right about Idol. adb, I think that Adam is confident with himself...not cocky. JMO Oh, and housebreaking a dog...our dogs have always been real quick. Mother puts the rath of God in them. LOLOL

A friend has a friend that has two labs that they have to give away. They are moving (but where they can't take their babies I don't know). I saw the pics of them and just melted, their adorable eyes, house broken, etc, etc. Dan should NOT have sent me that email. I want them, but we don't have a yard so to speak. (we shall see). They are companions so can't be separated. So if you know of someone, I'll email you their pic. Absolutely adorable!!!!! They will ship if necessary, their dollar.

seattle - Wed May 13 18:15:59 MDT 2009

Mary in Maine, you are so right! I couldn't believe this was possible but now we see Adam doing dirty deeds. But how did he get the needle and the stuff to use in it, which I assume, made him seem blinder than he is? Maybe Estella is in on it? Or her lawyer nephew? Although the scene between them would apparently negate that possibility. If not them, then who and how?

One thing about Adam's eye condition bothers me. HQ has had eye problems since she was a child, involving many corneal ulcers, corneal flap operations and blepharitis, finally ending with a corneal transplant almost 4 years ago. Several ophthalmologists over the years gave her thorough examinations, usually involving a large microscope and other equipment. Now this doctor comes up with this complicated diagnosis, using nothing but the hand-held instrument for peering inside the eyeball. I do not think that is possible!

RcSmiley, ankles are not usually fat at all-skin and tendons over bone; take a look at your own ankle-is it fatty? I'll bet not. So I don't think Adam losing weight there is believable. Maybe if he were a fat old drunk but not the person he is. Just another Y&R screw-up.
Willie
- Wed May 13 16:03:11 MDT 2009

MaryW: GOSSIP: It appears Philip is coming back and will have a relationship with the young male lawyer. Also, Raul will appear briefly. I have read interesting articles from "Karen" about how ticked off she was with Y & R re her storyline and being fired so quickly. Also the humour of "Mac", as she is gay in real life, saying who will she end up with, Billy or Chloe? LOL. She did her screen test with "Adam" as well as "Billy" so perhaps those two are going to connect at some point. I still find her acting quite wooden. In her article she said she felt her acting was very bad her first week or so, but now she was in the "swing of things." I wish! In another article Joshua Morrow said Sharon Case misinterpreted something she read in the press and thought he was mad because the writers might put him back with her. What he said was Michelle Stafford was an amazing actress and he loved working with her. He liked Sharon, too, but he did not want another 10 years in the role of her husband. So Josh was saying to the reporter to make sure it was clear that he loved working with Sharon, but prefers to be back and forth, rather than in the same role for a long period of time.
Cactus
- Wed May 13 14:22:39 MDT 2009

Y&R - well, anyone with that many bucks would have it spread around...and not loose everything. Stupid storyline, but you can see the boring stuff that is going to happen....the trio will try to get Victor some way. Okay can this Mary Jane chick be one of the Brooks sisters...I think Jack way back when was involved with Leslie?? Just a thought. Anyway, over the Adam and Ashley loosing her mind!!!!!!! Can't remember what else I wanted to say.

Oh, I didn't watch for a couple of weeks....did Victor and Ashley get married??

Dancing with Stars - well Gilles will have to totally screw up if he doesn't win. I like Mellissa better over Shawn. Shawn is good, but she still has that gymnastic stiffness about her.

Idol - My pick, Adam, even tho I wish he wouldn't screach in almost every song, but great anyway. Kris number two. His voice isn't that strong, but very versitile, and can sing differently each time, like Adam. Danny.....as Dan calls his singing SBBS (same boring bull s*&t). PMP. Same ole, same ole. All above is JMO. And I'm glad Simon said don't think Adam is safe, VOTE. That is what happend to Chris Daulthry.

I think Mary Jane is related to Paul.
I didn't know until yesterday that Adam was using Boxtox in his eyes, eeeewwww. He is foolish hiding things in his room!
I wonder if Cane and Lily will be the only ones to have a wedding that doesn't turn into a disaster?

Virginia Beach, VA - Wed May 13 07:41:26 MDT 2009

Willie back on April 29th you posted that you thought I was pulling your leg (hard to do way from Maine to Ca)when I posted a couple days before that about Adam taping a baby crying and him going in and out his window and losing weight by not eating and exercise to get his ankle bracelet off. Well after yesterday's show you now know that my guesses seem to be right so I'll let go of your leg and let you get back on stable footing! lol

I think Adam is using Ashley to get back at Jack , wanting to cause him pain after the mess Jack left him in. Also to get even with Victor by making Ashley appear that she is loosing her mind to everyone as she confides in him and grows closer to him. Maybe an affair or the appearance of one to make Victor mad.Also Adam doesn't want another brother or sister in the picture.

Good to see Nina again and to hear she "might" be around for awhile.

I was wondering. Do any of you think Heather will get wise to Adam's shenanigans of losing weight to remove the ankle bracelet, piercing or putting drops in his eye to promote his 'blindness', and playing crying baby tapes to promote Ashley's 'insanity'? Maybe the ankle bracelet will come off while they're making love! What do y'all think? - rc

RC - My take on the agent....first I would have him check out....all he did was flash something that didn't look like a real badge. I think that he is a con artist (no pun intended), and he wants Daniel to paint that picture, and then the con will put Daniels pic in the place of the original and steal the original. I can see Nina and Amber working together...they are both cool chicks.

Hey, you all were right. Adam was feigning his blindness and recording a baby crying to convince Ashley she's losing her mind. Although am not sure of Estella's role in that affair (other than her dislike of Ash)
I think Nikki and Paul are the true soul mates, and maybe that's why Paul's been married so many times.

Dancing/Stars - Well my hottie Gilles is back in business. Cheryl wants to win this bad, and Gilles isn't going to be beat by a woman (french in him), so she must have cussed him out good and told him to get a grip. I wouldn't be surpised if Ty gets in to the final 3. He has a huge following.

They called her "Catherine Zeta Shawn" the way she danced the tango was like, "he had it coming" (from 'Chicago'). And she's got the cutest little smile. Oh well, enough.
Heard you all saw Murphy show Jill the prize catfish he caught. When I saw that a few days ago I wondered if her reaction to his catch was because of the sizes of them or the smell.I think she was appalled at his stern reply to her demeaning comment, in saying he and Catherine now co-own the house she wants so much. - RC

Jean RE No Call list and still getting calls: That happens to me all the time. I tell them firmly that this number is on the no call list and to remove this number from their calling list. Most of the time I can barely get the sentence out before they hang up on me. What's maddening is the computers that call you with the computer generated voice so you can't even talk to a human to get your number off their list!

There IS a place on the No Call List website where you can enter a phone number that has violated the no calling. I've done it before. You have to enter the phone number and the date and time that they called, which should be easy to find if you have caller ID on your phone. I will try to post the website.

What makes me so mad is that all these places are like vultures and they share phone numbers, or something; how else do they keep getting our phone numbers??

Jean, also, if you even give them the slightest amount of information, not even going all the way and purchase whatever they are selling but even give an inkling that you might do so, (even if you are giving them bogus info), I do think they highlight your phone number then tell other people "call this number!" Or something like that. So don't ever ever give them anything except "TAKE ME OFF YOUR &^%$* LIST!!"

WHO would ever buy anything over the phone??? How do these a**holes make any money to stay in business??

Jean we have been getting those calls forever even tho we are on the no call list. My mother gets them too and it is such a bunch of bull. If I don't recognize the number on my trac phone I don't answer and the same on the home phone, let them leave a message.

Vanessa! I do remember her with her veil, now that was waaaaaaayyyyyy back!

I know Mother's Day is not easy for those whose children are far from home, in the service, ill or passed on, the lady who works with me whose daughter was killed by her ex husband looked so worn out today and I know it was because she was thinking about the whole thing for the past few days what with it being Mother's Day and all.My heart goes out to her and everyone else who had a difficult day.

Nurse Connie, thank you for the concert! We ALL enjoyed it!

Toots and Betty Boop I met to call yesterday, but with everyone coming and going and then trying to get laundry done in the evening time got away from me.

I'm sorry you had such sadness to overcome.

I'm so pissed off....we are on NO CALL list and somehow they get thru at least twice a day. I googled their numbers, yes numbers...and they are frauds...they want your social and your credit card number. I played along with them once, about the car warrenty, and I said which car, the Malibu or the pick up truck (we have neither), and acted like I was digging for my credit card, and gave them a totally bogus number.

i also feel that Y&R is going through a bad time right now -- trying to find it's way again through some overlong, over done, and over ridiculous plots

the summer usually brings some better story lines if i remember correctly -- ha !! -- in september i'll probably still be grumbling (and of course still watching) and say that the autumn usually brings some better story lines

sometimes i read the posts and try to guess who wrote them -- i am often correct -- today i was reading pinkie's and was certain it was jean's; the i guess a post was pinkie's and it was jean's -- my crystal ball is slightly askew today

hugs all

Hope you moms out there had a wonderful Mother's Day! Took my mom to dinner at Outback this afternoon. She loved it. Gave her a card too, of course, but thought I should've given her flowers too. But with the two cats we have the flowers may not have lasted long anyway.
God bless you all. See you all online later. - rc

O the wine people......Do you have a Traders Joe in or near where you live. They have wine they
call "two buck Chuck" and it is better than
a lot of regular wine and it sells for $2.00 a bottle. When you open it doean;t last long.

Remember years ago when Nikki was married to a
Dr. that had a crazy X wife that they found on the high way in an accident. She didn't like Nikki...
It's vague but it could be the beginning of a
repeat performance.

Look at Mary Jane up close ,,,,,she resembles
some one we have seen before

When I was busy bitching about Y&R's plot lines the other day, I forgot another one that seems totally unbelievable to me- the way Chloe talked Phyllis and Nikki into turning Cane and Lily's wedding shoot into a farce. First, how could these supposedly smart alleged magazine editors think that would be appropriate and second, how could Cane and Lily agree to even try it, leading to disaster, of course? Now will we have Lily seriously hurt or what? Yet another big goose egg of plotting. Phooey!

Hope all of you mothers are having a great day with family. Our eldest and his wife sent HQ a live orchid plant and I came up with roses, carnations and baby breath, so the green thumb in our family is quite gruntled.

I was wondering....everything that Ashley is going through, maybe it might stop for awhile since Estella is gone, maybe Adam might (if he is the one behide all this) lay off to make it look like Estella did it all. And if she comes back to the Newman house things might start happening again so Victor can blame her..just a thought.

Wishing everyone a "Happy Mother's Day" to everybody.

Adam just turns my stomach. Truly an evil manchild, odd, he's from an angel mother. Somewhere I read he's using Botox. Did that show when he did the injecting. I missed if it did show. Just the thought of injecting your own eye BLEEEK BLEEECK BLECK.I thought it was a grand gesture of Victor to just transfer Estella to another Newman worksite. I do feel sorry for Ashley. We don't see much of Abby. There's a new mystery story coming along that might be interesting.If I inject BOtox in my "appetite" would I have a chance at getting skinny? WOuld it freeze my appetite?

I want to get fresh eggs. Can't seem to find a source. Our city ok'd an Urban Chicken law. But so far the market isn't flooded with eggs. THey must all still have chicks, and none of our neighbors are doing the chicken thing.Seems like the chicken people are in Old Town area.

Mary Beth
- Sat May 9 21:23:26 MDT 2009

Yeah, I saw Adam stick that needle in his eye too. I thought, "so he is jerking everyone's chain!". But I wonder. Where did he get the medicine for his ruse, that is, if he is blind. Could Estella be assisting him?
And Willie, I agree. Poor Kevin and Amber have been through enough troubles, haven't they? Jill's demeaning response to their struggles seems typically Jill, the heartless bi---.
Maybe they just need new characters and new story lines.

So I'm not alone with being upset with the Adam crap... I feel better..

I wish all Mom's a Peaceful wonderful Mothers Day .. Toots my thoughts are with you ..

101' today - Sat May 9 17:13:55 MDT 2009

MaryB, I get 1 dozen fresh laid eggs every two weeks. I was getting 2 dozen but didn't use them fast enough. They are from the next town over a very picturesque small town called Mapleton right on the river. A families young son sells them as his business for $2.50 per dozen and even delivers them. They are so good mostly brown but some are greenish and a variety of sizes. No wild asparagus that I know of.

Jill is being more like the original Jill way back when, she was a B**** back then also.

If I was Murphy and Kay I'd sell my half of the house to the most undesirable buyer and start afresh somewhere else.

I wish they would bring Nina back more often, its kind of fun seeing her again. If they want to resurrect some old storyline they should have her child that was stolen by Rose DeVille years ago show up.

Mary
Maine - Sat May 9 16:43:12 MDT 2009

emelie and Jean, you are so right. There is no way Adam could have access to all this paraphernalia, unless Estella brought it in for him but that is just as incredible as everything else in this plot line.
And emelie, I can't tell whether you know I was pulling your leg about the wine. Carlo Rossi sells 4 liter bottles of cheap wine and one of them is sangria, a spanish wine that supposedly has fruits in it. And that's about all we drink in the way of wine, unless I get a bottle of one of Fetzer's Johannesberg Reisling, my long-time favorite.

Jill's antics really made me furious and I kept yelling to HQ "Why the hell doesn't somebody grab her by the arm and throw her out of the room". It is really disgusting what they have her doing to poor Kevin and Amber. They have gone way over the top with this trash but I guess we'll keep watching anyway. One way we can retaliate- we'll never buy ANY product advertised on here- NEVER! One thing I wonder-does this absolute fecal material appeal to younger female viewers, who are, after all, the ones the idiots are really after? If it does, I pity them for a lack of compassion and common sense.

I guess I'm really steamed about something of absolutely no significance. Sorry.

Willie ........ with food, we usually opt for a nice Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon,(red & dry), or a Californian Sauvignon Blanc, (white & dry) -------- but a Pinot Grigio, (white), is slightly less dry with a mild "hint" of sweetness ...... and I can drink it 'sans' food. I can't say I'm familiar with a sangria, or the vinier you mentioned. I/we got hooked on wines when we toured a vineyard (Concha y Toro) in the central valley in Chile'. Hope to do the San Fernando Valley tour when we have more freedom to travel.

Okay, I didn't want to mention the Adam bit 'needle/drugs in the eye' until everyone had a chance to see the show ---- He must have an on-site pharmacy, right??? And isn't it against the law for Heather to give him alcohol? at the very least, if he was on parole, it would be a violation ---- but he's technically still an inmate. Sure..........sure......... "Adam, let's have some champagne!" ..........
Also, she's the assistant-DA. What happened to her career aspirations that she flouted when she first arrived? Another potentially admirable female character who just "crashes and burns"
when a man winks at her.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, tomorrow ....... and yes, Jean, you're a mom too.
(I already got my 12 red roses earlier in the week from Molly & Duke).

Y&R - Now really, this Adam thing is too over the top. Okay, how did he get the needle and drugs??? He was in prison when he first lost his sight, and has been on an ankle braclet ever sense he got out. Too much. MJ will try to do harm to Jack or Sharron. And Paul to the rescue, he will figure it out. Will Victor be blamed....NO. Jill is one piece of work. They have made her into a trashy bitch.

MaryW - Regarding Idol on rock night. Well you weren't even born when Whole lotta love came out, and were dirtying your diapers when Slow Ride came out....so I can see where you don't get the "rock" feel. I for one was up and bustin' a move to those songs.

MaryB - No fresh eggs or asparagus around here. Dang it.

Everyone, have a great weekend. We have baby back ribs for tonight, and prime rib for tomorrow. After all I am a mother to Belle. hehe

I think I got a glimpse of Brad on a preview of Bold and Beautiful. It looked like he has a beard. I figured he would show up on another show pretty soon.

Poor Estella. If they move her to Newman Enterprises to work, won't it be pretty obvious that Adam is the culprit?
Susan
Ruidoso, NM - Sat May 9 07:31:15 MDT 2009

I missed Adam putting the needle in his eye . Oh Darn just what i wanted to see more unrealistic crap@@ how did he know what to do to fool the Doctor and that he could get away with it the Internet ? ... Why oh Why do they put us through this stuff .. I know don't watch well they are pushing me to Stop again.. I knew it was Adam and maybe Estella .What a selfish creep, he needs to go away for a long time Or be Haunted by his Mother... Was a D&A test ever done on Adam was there a baby switch and maybe the real Vic jr still out their?

any one remember the story line years ago i remember bits and piece of it But it was more real or the most realistic story line Y&R has done ... it involved i think her name was Vanessa and she committed suicide by jumping out a window but made it looked like she was pushed .. cant remember who it was she was framing....

The constant repeat of story lines is ruining it for me..anyone else? will i still watch? hmmm probably complain Of course ... but their pushing me to stop.. Sorry for babbling

Pinkie
- Sat May 9 00:22:33 MDT 2009

Seems like Adam is always closing the windows in his room when Ashley is experiencing some upsetting event, and today he appeared chilled as if he had been outside. So now he is giving himself shots in the eye to make himself appear blind, wonder if he will think about how he would be hurting his mom this Mother's Day if she was alive. What an insult to her memory , he shows no respect.

I still can not stand Heather, she acts like Victor is all to blame for Adam's problems, but she doesn't stop to think that she is actually breaking the law by sneaking into "Victor's home" to see Adam and even drinking Victor's wine after being told repeatedly to stay away.It is Victor's home after all! Adam is still fulfilling his debt to society by being kept in the ankle bracelet, it's not suppose to be fun time at the ranch for him. If not for Victor he would be in jail instead of at the ranch and what he did to his father was not right.

A bush hog is a heavy duty mower that a tractor pulls to cut through tough growth, the blades are set up so that if it hits rocks or such they will bounce away from it and come back down. I am assuming Charlie's lawn is a little thick and heavy due to rain.

Mary W, I've complained for a long time about how unrealistic so many of the plot lines are on Y&R, so I'm with you completely. Things that have the feel of real life to them definitely catch our eye. Particularly irksome are John Abbott's ghost visits. We're supposed to think they're hallucinations, I guess, but they are made to be so realisitc, no fog, or funny sounds, etc.

Another gripe- Gloria reaming out Ashley in the courtroom and her standing there taking it for so long. In real life, Ashley would have been gone like a shot.

emelie, knowing nothing about wine, is pinot grigio a red and if so, very dry or a bit sweet? HQ and I often have a glass or two in the evening of a fine 4-liter bottle vintage two months ago of Carlo Rossi sangria. Ahhh!
Willie
- Fri May 8 17:41:13 MDT 2009

AI--Jean I thought it would be Adam/Danny in the final too....but every time they call Kris' name the girls go crazy so.....?

Well I must be getting "old" I actually enjoyed the old standards songs version of AI better than the rock songs....and I also thought they all sang better w/ the oldies.

My two cents on storylines: IMO the best storylines on any soap are ones that could actually happen IRL; you know, normal people stuff? Like the effect divorce has on the kids, etc. The social awareness storylines are good too, like for example the recent one with Kevin and the child abuse.

NC--what is "bush hog the yard"?

Betty Boop did you grow up in San Pedro too? I liked San PEdro when we were there once. I always picture what a California city was like in the late 30'40's and 50's. My parents lived in Anaheim in the late 40's. My mother just loved California, but after my dad finished school he wanted to go back to Colorado. It was too busy there for his taste. I do wonder how it could have been for my Family in California. I've had a great life. Just wonder sometimes.

GreeTing everyone ..
re Y&R
isnt it amazing how nobody ever comes up upon Adam evesdropping? How does he know no one isnt watching him IF he truly is blind? I think he wanted the leg bracelet off so he could leave the ranch undected to get Sabrina's things just a guess.. He is a Slime being so vindictive when ViTor is really trying to do right by him ..I know its all in the Script but tptb still think we are stupid.
and Summer she did grow up fast over night at christmas she was still crying like a baby...even when she waas a toddler they used a infants cry for her.
as for Sharon surprise surprise same ole same ole story line of dont tell the real daddy and suffer in silence.. I truly Believe that Summer is Jacks and that sooner or later it will come out and jack and phyliss will get back together and so will nick and sharon ..
JMHO..
Mr P will be starting a new treatment for his bladder next week dont know the name of it yet.. will keep you all posted on his progress...

Mary Beth, I agree they should do a better job but given that they have to work with most of the same people year in and year out, they have to keep marrying them, divorcing them, firing them, hiring them, having accidents and sicknesses with them endlessly. Not to mention endless plots against other characters, many of which never pan out. Some wise soul said years ago that there are only a finite number of plots available to fiction writers and so they have to keep embellishing them forever. I don't really feel sorry for them but having written a whole bunch of short stories that hardly ever got published, I feel-what is it Obama said about judge nominees- "empathy". I doubt they could do any better.

When Summer screamed and fell off the swing, did you-all notice how she sat there complacently, waiting to be picked up? In reality, she would have been crying and wailing. They didn't coach their little actress enough. There! Another criticism! Bye.

I have to expect more. I keep watching hoping they'll do something really interesting. WOW I know, Sharon could sleep with everyone from here to Vancouver, then show up pregnant. GEE now we can wonder and hope who the father might be.
WILLIE, I don't feel sorry for anyone who makes writing and producing and acting in soaps their work in life. I say get busy and do better PLEASE>
Whew, it feels better.

I've been mulling over all the criticisms that I, and others, keep posting on here about our show. It probably makes us all feel better but since plot lines and character casting are all done way ahead of time, it's too late for them to change things (even if they wanted to, which I doubt).

When you stop to think of it, the producers, directors and writers on here are all pretty well stuck with a bunch of actors who are under contract, many for a long time, I would think, and so they have to keep maneuvering around the same set of people endlessly. They do bring on a new character from time to time but it really is the same basic bunch. So marriages, divorces, births and not often enough, deaths, keep our group of Abbotts, Newmans, and assorted others going. And they throw in so many changes of CEOs and other employees in the same little bunch, Chancellor Industries, Jabot, Restless Styles and Newman. I'll bet that in meetings, the various types that decide what will happen and when, tend to become gibbering idiots once in a while.

So---we all keep watching anyway.

I am such not a good friend because.......

NURSE CONNIE......I missed your birthday! I could kick myself. I am soooooooo sorry! Happy Belated Birthday. You know I love you and I'm blaming it all on Casie's Junior Prom and all the crap going on with the kids lives that I gotta deal with!

By the way, I will send pics of Casie and her date to whoever's emails I have......She looked GORGEOUS! Just you wait til you see the pics.

Okay, Kay's wedding: WTF was Nikki wearing? How did Nina get Jill tied up in the closet? Why did Ana have to sing? Can't her and Tyra go away somewhere.

Have you been on the CBS.com Y&R page? You can actually send Cane (or is it Cain) and Lily wedding advise. Again, wtf? Who has time in their day to send actors from a soap marriage advice? LOL

Hope everyone and their pets and their loved ones are all doing well.

MaryW........Just chill with Claire. The crying can make you nuts because I know you just feel like there's nothing you can do. I never let my kids cry in their cribs......I agree with you about that. Sometimes when she's crying.........just start laughing! Seriously, might as well laugh! :)

Cactus - it was me who said Billy is the young Jack. Jack was in everones pants. Regarding Idol, I don't see them favoring Adam at all, if I had to say they have favoring Danny. JMO And I think they choose what to do routine wise. Danny isn't a strut down the stairs kinda guy but Adam is.

NC - you and charlie watching Idol. And you like Adam doing Led Zepplin, and Fog Hat. Girlfriend....I'm speechless!! HEHE And yeah, I like Kris, but I think he is headed for the house. Home Sweet Home.

Y&R - haven't watched in three days....so can't comment. Yet!! But I do think that Adam and Estella are up to something, and Rafe might be in on it too, since Estella is his Aunt. Hmmmm

Houston - Wed May 6 11:40:00 MDT 2009

I agree with whomever said that Billy is just like a young Jack ... or maybe even the present Jack. Will be interesting to see where he lands on his feet to work.

Phyllis may try and give the appearance that she has "changed" but she always has an ulterior motive, doesn't she? Whatever she does, she is a talented actor.

A.I. Obviously there is manipulation on Idol to have Adam voted in. Like the big theatrical staircase performance he was able to give two weeks ago, whereas the other guys just got dim lighting and a microphone! Reminds me of the Clay and Reuben saga, where at that time Ryan Seacrest would always give more air time and promotion to Reuuuuuuuuuuuben. Oh well, that's reality TV. Not saying that Adam doesn't deserve it, but, come on, guys, let's be fair. Thought Simon was a little pompous saying noone would touch Adam after his performance. How would he know, the others could have surprised him.
Cactus
- Wed May 6 11:10:46 MDT 2009

Well Charlie and I are "into" AI ... I can't believe it either...lolol...that being said I loved Adams song as a single but also loved he and Allison together...Danny was okay , just not his style of music...I'm thinking Kris will be going to the house tonight...

A** Billy who did he sleep with this time...missed that but saw him coming down steps finishing dressing...Why leave a room in a nice place and still tucking you shirt tail in???
Now we all knew she'd want to tell Nick first...sucker
Why can't Phyllis rum RS with Nikki and be happy for Nick to be in the new position and Newman??? Because Sharon still works there and she wont have as much control over him???
I think Kevin is still very "brittle" emotionally and still needs lots of help...

MaryBeth I so agree about cats...cute from afar (*_*)

Rain and MORE rain for last several weeks....Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - Wed May 6 10:32:52 MDT 2009

MARYW: Yes, I am very worried about Miss Kato, as since she has been home from the hospital she is very clingy and follows us everywhere. We are trying some new things and hope that after only four days with a pet sitter this time, she will recoup quickly.
RE AI: I agree that Adam is in a league of his own. He has said that he is gay/bi and that he "is who he is". There are apparently pictures of him kissing men on the web, although I haven't gone that route to look them up. I must say that he does look great with his eyeliner and diamond earrings ... LOVE his hair cut. I think Kris will be gone tonight. I still like him just 'cus he is so sweet and has good vocals, too. It gets hard now with only four left.
Cactus, better get packin'!

OH MY GOSH, I'm not crazy about cats, but when in a Cat HOuse they climb alllllll over me. WHy is that?

I hope we breeze thru Sharon and Phyllis's nervous breakdowns quick. I have no patience with them dragging this out. Maybe Dr. Tim will come back.
Mary Beth
- Wed May 6 08:34:28 MDT 2009

AI...ditto about Adam!! He was crazy good!! And I agreed with Jean and the judges about the rest. Although I don't think Adam needs to win, if he doesn't it will be just plain wrong. If the show is thinking of manipulating that, they should go talk to the manipulaters of "The Bachelor" and ask how that worked out. Having said all that, my own personal taste in music is softer so I really, REALLY loved the duet with Danny and Kris.

I notice that our Brad, Don Diamont, has a new gig at "Bold and the Beautiful". For those who don't watch the show but will now that he is on...along with a few other Y&R alums....let me say this: If you think Y&R is unreal, watch out. The inter-family dating and marrying runs rampant. They need some new blood, although Brad's character will be in an established family. But, on the good side, it's only a half hour, not a big investment of time and moves really, really fast. Unlike Y&R where you get sick of a storyline before it's over, their storylines come to quick and usually very dramatic conclusions sometimes in days.

I really don't think it's Estelle pulling pranks. Or the lawyer. Maybe Adam. He is definitely up to something. I still like him because I do agree with him that Victor treats him like a stray and his siblings never were kind to him. I also love bad boy Billy and nice guy Cane. And I'm liking new Mac more and more.

This is Idol chatter so go to sleep if not interestesd. Adam blew the house down....I was in tears and clapping. Danny trying to do Steve Tyler was bla haa. He was screaching. IMO. Slash being a mentor.....loved it!! And Mary W, Chris is going to be on tomorrow??? Yippy. Dan has the remote and turned it off right after Danny sang so I didn't catch it.

Emelie - you know when it is time for you pet to go by looking at the eyes....glazed over from age even. Buffy the last night would raise her head now and again and look with pleading eyes, like what is wrong with me??? I will never forget it ever.

Cloe=Doormat.

Cactus are you worried that kitty will get sick when you leave?

Also AI do we know for sure that Adam is Bi?

Billy and Jack really look like brothers...

NC--Congrats on the health of your dogs--RE the gleam in dogs' eyes that's missing towards the end--my Chester is missing that gleam, although he still enjoys a pretty good quality of life, still LOVES going on walks even though he can't see or hear a darn thing.

CAT TALK: rcsmiley: No, not too much information at all! I used to have three Siamese, two seal point and one chocolate point. Tasha lived with us to age 14. I LOVE the Siamese. They are so affectionate with personality and loyal to their owners. We now have an adopted part Siamese, with slightly crossed blue eyes and a beige coat with pale stripes. She has such a thick coat, though, she looks like a roly poly bear. Miss Lissa is very shy and a direct contrast to Miss Kato. BTW, Kato is our American cat, we rescued her when we lived in Raleigh, North Carolina. Her given name was Opus, but we called her Kato after the Pink Panther movies. You know the little guy, Kato, that was always jumping out of nowhere on Inspector Clousseau? That's what she did to Lissa when she was a kitten and hence her name change.

Virginia Bch, VA - Tue May 5 20:10:54 MDT 2009

Yes, cactus, we have two cats. They're brothers from SPCA; Siamese mixed: Bailey is the usual tan with chocolate ears, paws, and tail,with blue eyes, while Mikey is mostly black with yellow/green eyes. In the right light one can see they both have stripes across their backs and foreheads. They were 11 months old when we fostered them back in February. After their second exam we were told Mikey had an irregular heart beat, but no threat. They are both full of love both for us and each other(after they bite the hell out of each other), and they bring joy to us both, especially my mom.
Did I say to much? Sorry. - rc

Y&R - still haven't watched todays. Okay, you all, if anyone was watching way back when, Billy is just like Jack was 25 years ago. You have to have a gigalo in the bunch, and he is the new/young Jack. And remember Sharron got pregant a few years back, and she thought it might be Matt Clarks from the night he put drugs in her drink. So she didn't know if it was Matts or Nicks. Nick got pissed that she wanted a test, she tripped over the chair and lost the baby. At first I thought this might be an abortion s/l. I brought the later up cause I think someone mentioned that Sharron couldn't get pregnant after Noah.

rcsmiley: Thanks for asking about Miss Kato. She is back in all her many routines, vocalizing and as affectionate as ever. However, she came home with a small problem from the clinic which has accelerated to the point where I had to take her back today. I think she will be okay, even though we have to leave her alone again now for four days. This time we have chosen to use a female pet sitter to come in twice a day, as she likes women. She is still eating "McDonald's" (translate: kitty junk food), but just as I am writing this lengthy post, my husband said he just spied her eating her old "good" food for the first time. It's amazing how we realize how much our pets mean to use when they are sick!

Cactus
- Tue May 5 16:08:46 MDT 2009

adb, 3 or 4 times a day??? Wow, Sharon really has got the hots! Is anybody ever going to get her to a shrink?

ladybug, Chloe realizes that any man (particularly if he's an Abbott) is better than none but I find Billy's antics distasteful and I feel like I could bash his droopy eye-lidded face in, if he was real (and I were 60 yrs younger).

emelie, I just read what you wrote about Billy and I hope you're wrong about the "integral part" bit. To me, if they wrote him out, that would be great! But hey, great minds can disagree, right?

rcsmiley, liked your nicknames for Billy and you're right. They could make him a worthwhile character but I think they prefer to have him causing chaos and breaking Chloe's heart-it's so dramatic.

Seems all I can zero in on today is Billy. Maybe it's because he's a lot like "Willie"? In name only!

Didn't some of you think it neat how Billy saw the ghost of his father as his conscience, the way Jack sometimes did?
Isn't it something how there's nothing to satisfy Jill? She'll still be the crotchety bi--- she always was.Even when the Duchess tried to console her for being stuffed in the closet(LOL). Maybe Catherine's happy she's not the 'daughter'.
Let's hope Kevin doesn't fly off the handle and take off to places unknown before his case is finished. That'll be another six months of story line.
Oh, and Cactus, how's your cat?

And to everyone: Speaking of character, I think the actress that plays Phyliss (I think her name is Stafford), and the one that plays Kevin both did a superb job this year so far.

Jean: I agree w/you. I think that "Zip it up Billy" or "Ants in the pants Billy", as I've liked to call him in this chatbook sometimes, is a good example of how one's personal character affects everyone around him. If writers had Billy 'stand up' and take his position among the Abbotts and his own marriage, Billy might become an effective character.

MaryBeth: Did you mean explain about Adam Lambert? All my opinion: Adam has all the potential to be a mega star. Amazing vocals, stage presence, dramatic, very good looking, great personality, still humble. I think it would almost be best if he didn't win Idol and be rushed into an album. There's been no one IMO since Elvis that could even closely fill his shoes. Adam in 10 years ... remember my prediction ... will be HUGE. King of Pop/Rock, such as Michael Jackson also enjoyed during his popular years. Having said that, Kris is still my favorite.
Cactus

I like Billy. Sure, he's a dog in heat ------ but doesn't make any excuses for himself. I think he's going to develop into a very integral part of the show.

Nurse Connie ------ pmp about "housecoat Mary"............
(that t-bone steak sounds delicious).

So is Adam faking the extent of his vision loss? I guess the med specialist will see that, yes??

This business about Ashley and the "ghost of Sabrina" is a bit ludicrous, I think.

o.t. to Sparkie ------- lots of Harleys and others around these days.
O.t. to anyone who's interested: Duke and Molly had their vet yearly checkups yesterday ..... Duke's cancer cells are not showing any sign of activity, and he is tumour free: YAAAAAAY!!
Molly is on a daily analgesic for her arthritis, which will help her with her worsening mobility issues --- she gained four lbs. over the winter, so we'll slowly increase her activity levels, .... and the resulting weight loss will help with her enlarged heart, and with the arthritis. Pain management is crucial at this point, so that she can increase her activity to lose weight; she's 13 at the end of this month, and with her overlapping med issues we are being challenged to maintain her quality of life. But she's still alert, and very enthusiastic about life; her vet says that Molly "still has that 'gleam in her eye' that is missing in dogs at the end", .........

Does Chloe have no self-respect whatsoever? Baby or no baby, what woman would put up with a man like that???

Then off to our Mayfest Festival. North of Austin. We were scared the storm that hit around Dallas was headed our way, but not a breeze or drop of rain. Stayed east of us.

Y&R - saw Friday.....great.....even Dan watched the last few minutes, and died laughing at the previews of Jill in the closet. Yeah, Nina could handle and love to "hang" Jill up.

Betty Boop, they often prescribe Potassium because your water pill takes too much potassium out of your body, or you could just be deficient in potassium. If the potassium level becomes too low, you'll be very tired and it could damage your heart. It doesn't usually cost a lot, and would be good to get. Naturally you get it from oranges and bananas and spinach and broccali.

Anyone else, what can you add?

LOL about the Hot Air Balloon, WIllie. We could have seen Nikki kissing Kay goodbye for her honeymoon trip. The wind catches under Nikki's skirt(Mary Poppins style) and she floats off into the sunset. then gently...floats to rest at the Newman Ranch, on Victor's doorstep. He doesn't believe what he's seen float to his front door.But he then gets so mad, veins-bulging-mad,and hollers at her...YOU DID THIS ON PURPOSE, you despicable woman!!!!

Mary Beth, enjoyed your comment about Niki stepping into an umbrella. Here's my comment- how about a partially deflating hot air balloon? Har-de-har!

adb, you're right on about Victor and Mary Jane. Our friendly PTB even have the guy who is supposed to be the wisest and most "with-it" character make a stupid, extremely dumb mistake by talking with MJ! Of course it was done to create yet another plot point connecting those two with Jack. Now he can probe and be sly about yet another thing.

Doesn't it seem like we're getting too much pregnancy and future baby characters on here? HQ thinks there will have to be at least one miscarriage, possibly caused by one character knocking another downstairs or something.

HQ believes that people using hair extensions is quite normal for dress-up occasions and doesn't think they were trying to permanently change her look. We'll see.

LOL I'd forgotten Nurse Connie would be expecting the KING. Does He like peanutbutter banana cake?

Actually Pamela said the first Ethyl MErtz. It just fit so well....Nikki was just so puffy!!! You have to be a bit slimmer to carry of waistline and skirt dresses. WHen she bent over once, she even had a crinoline slip under the dress.

Does anyone speak Spanish? Just wondering. How about French? Italian?
German?

Nurse Connie Happy Birthday, Hope the King got there in time to wish it to you!

Lots of birds at the feeder today, goldfinches, sparrows, chickadees, downy woodpeckers, purple finches, mourning doves, etc. Got to get the hummingbird feeder out there.

I liked the clip at the end of the show with Lauren opening the closet door only to find Jill tied up inside. I got a feeling Nina took care of her after Jill showed up at the door drunk.

Getting a little tired of Jill feeling sorry for herself, she might not be Kay's blood child, but she was lucky enough to have Mrs. Foster as her mother and siblings that loved her, and now Kay still cares for her and even Jill's not so close friends are trying to smarten her up but she won't listen, but she will sit and drink with Gloria and Jeff after all they have done.If I was Jill I think I would be a little interested in just exactly "who is" my birth mother.

I thought the wedding so far was nice and I liked the designs, I didn't even mind Nikis dress (pretty material) and her puppies were contained fairly well.

Hope Betty Boop and Toots that you are enjoying the day. Hope everyone is well and enjoying the weekend.

NC: Happy Birthday! Are you celerating in your...um...birthday suit...LOL!

I think the fact that Paul said to Mary J, "do I know you?" might be a clue.

Calling Nikki's getup "Ethel Mertz" was being kind. I have to say it...not age appropriate. Before I get reprimanded, that doesn't mean a person her age can't dress like that. Like passing gas in public, a person CAN do it, but it's not pleasing to others. Nikki reminded me of some old Bette Davis movie where she's had a psychotic memory lapse.

Amber and Mac looked adorable. Mac looks a bit softer with the extensions. She and Tyra must have gotten a two for one coupon.

rcsmiley -- yes re victor talking with mary jane -- how could he be so stupid -- if he really wanted his plot to work, he should have ignored her completely -- but, no -- just as he was telling mary jane not to make any mistakes, victor was making the biggest mistake -- and, of course, jack saw it all -- don't think he heard it though -- let's see how mary jane gets out of this one -- (i thought she did fairly well getting out of the "john's portrait" faux pas)

YEs, Nikki's dress was very Ethyl Mertz. She looked kind of like she stepped into an umbrella. Other retro dresses were pretty cute. Like the turquose color. I'd like to wear one of them in a Thunderbird like Basyl's.(any road trips on the calendar adb?) I do like Adrian Franz more than I ever thought I would. Clementine's puppies barely fit in the scoop neck dress. Nice to see Nina It was pretty funny the way Phyllis forgot to wear her blouse...just wore the slip and a sweater.(yea, I know she meant to look like that) Katherine looked radiant.
Have a good weekend everyone.

Welcome newbies .......

Happy Bday, Nurse Connie ........... today is Jewel's "Johnny"'s bday, too. :-}

Hope Sharon's baby is a girl, and that it is Nick's. And that Phyl's baby turns out to be Jack's.
Glad a few other posters thought Nikki's hair and dress were "odd".
And also, Mac must have great hormones to grow her hair so quickly, lol. And, speaking of Mac, ......... the original Mac would never dress like that ------- she was much too together.

So as I posted earlier in the week, I'm painting the inside of the house, front to back .......... working today on the great room, with a tray of white primer on a towel on the floor, paint roller in the broom handle for heighth, and hubby's friend arrives and knocks on the front door ------- so what do you get when you cross a hyper border collie, a tray of white primer paint on the sand-coloured broadloom, and a clumsy husband trying to catch the dog? A border collie with a foot in the tray of paint, a carpet with wet dog prints on it, and a husband trying to catch her. It was just too funny to get pssd off about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lucky for me I have a steam buggy, which has since cleaned the paint off the carpet, ........ and a dog currently drying herself in the sun after her bath. (I thought about all of us stepping in the paint and walking on the carpet, and naming it the walk of fame., lol.)

Happy Birthday Nurse Connie! What an easy birth-date to remember!

I loved the drunken scene with Jill, Jeffrey and Gloria, thought it was a riot.

Are we to believe that MacKenzie's hair has grown a foot overnight?

Mystery woman is obviously Patty, since Paul can 'sense' that it's his sibling?

adb--maybe the writers read our chatline about us all complaining about how we wish the storylines would end, and then BOOM they end them overnight with no explanation or resolution! LOL

LOL Pamela--Ethel Mertz--I too did not care for Nikki's dress or hair. And boy was MacKenzie's chest stuffed into her dress! Why do we have to smash the puppies down so much?

Virginia Beach, VA - Fri May 1 10:24:20 MDT 2009

Cactus, you're right-Adam could gain if Ashley were out of the way but somehow, I don't think it's him. Only a hunch on my part. I think that Adam is going to blow the whistle on Jack about the diary. That would be an interesting development.

adb, you are so right about plot lines. They go on and on and suddenly, everything is all neatly wrapped up and away we go. But when you think of it, that's about the only way to handle things. I know that HQ and I have often griped about how long things go on. So they can't win with us all.

about a month ago i suggested it might be patty -- ever since then i have been watching to see if that could be who mary jane is

there is no clue who it is, let alone patty, in my opinion, so willie, i cannot help you

one thing i do remember is that patty was not killed off

i am always astounded when story lines that have gone on and on end abruptly -- like catherine having lime disease, not alzheimers; kevin snapping out of his psychosis; gloria, kevin, phyllis, sharon, etc., getting out of very serious legal charges; etc., etc., etc. -- wish it were that easy in real life (wink, wink)

Thanks to all for your pep talks--I think you are right; it's like a phenomenon that I used to see in daycare all the time: The kid is fine, then boom the second they see mom they start wailing! I used to think....geez...mom's gonna think he was like this all day! I guess it's because they know they can get the most attention and TLC from none other than Mom.

I can't imagine not picking up baby the second I can get to her if she's crying--I don't think I could ever let my child cry herself to sleep. I would feel horrible and I think it's inhumane. I can't stand to see animals whimpering in cages so, yeah, there's no way I'm letting her cry! I guess she's going to be spoiled!

I am going to work on relaxing my muscles when I'm holding her, taking deep breaths and trying to pass my calmness onto her. Great advice.

What is the reason for not being able to smile for your passport picture?

Loved all the bridal party dresses. But Nikki's just didn't suit her figure, IMO, very unflattering. Murphy was dressed like Murphy would, but I think it really made Catherine look very overdressed. She was beautiful, awesome!
Cactus
- Thu Apr 30 18:28:00 MDT 2009

About Ashley- we have to ask who it is that wants her gone the most and is capable of putting clothes and jewelry on the bed as well as playing a tape of a crying baby in the woods AT THE EXACT TIME that Ashley would be out there walking! That has to be someone who knew Sabrina, is close to the household enough to be able to get clothes out of storage and plant them and know when Ashley would walk. There aren't many characters who fill that bill. If it's the maid, who does seem to be the most possible, it must be that she's being paid by the real evil-doer. It's too elaborate to just be something she dreamed up because she doesn't like Ashley. Also, what would be Adam's motive for this? Ashley seems no threat to him and I don't believe he's faking the blindness. That is something difficult to pull off for a long period of time. For one thing, he probably would have avoided the table without realizing it had been moved. So to me, it boils down to who would gain the most if Ashley were out of the way.
Willie
- Thu Apr 30 16:22:12 MDT 2009

I agree, Neil needs a new woman in his life...can't stomach Tyra and he's not exactly high on my list either...but, she doesn't need to be African-American.

Whoever is responsible for the shenanigans at the Newman ranch...I'm sure it isn't the lawyer. I would doubt very much that they would make the first gay character (I can't remember any others) a bad guy. I don't think it's Estella because that would be too obvious. I like Adam so I don't want it to be him, but I'm not sure. It would surprise me because Ashley is one of the few people who is really kind to him. He's also a little obvious since they just gave him a laptop. Maybe it's Ashley herself. That statue of Sabrina would weird out almost anyone, much less someone who is on the edge.

I can't believe Nick would take back Phyllis repeatedly. And why did Phyllis make him promise to always tell her the truth when he has been all along. He even told her about Sharon when she didn't want him too.

Mary W: My daughter is in her 30's and STILL cries more with me than anyone else. Why? She trusts me the most, knows I love her unconditionally and will never judge her. On the other hand...there will be times when Claire gets hurt or with someone else, etc and crying...and just the sight of you will make her stop crying.

MaryBeth: Yeah, maybe woo woo, I think babies and small children are very attune to the energy around them. Sometimes when I'm in the checkout line at a store and there is a screaming child in front of me...I will focus on them, mentally send them love and peace and most of the time they stop. They only continue if the mother is also a mess. I want to tell her "how can you expect your child to calm down if YOU can't calm down???" It's like the oxygen mask on a plane...calm yourself down FIRST, for godssake...before you start screaming at your child to calm down.

Fireman: Crying is a stress reliever for anyone, including and especially babies who can't communicate their woes. But, I am so, so glad that what mother's are being told these days is that it's okay for a baby to cry, as long as they don't cry alone. I just hate it when a baby is left alone in their bed to cry for hours. They are also being told (I sat through the classes with my daughter) to pick the baby up as soon as they cry. It helps them develop trust and a sense of security. I always did that and got lots of criticism for it.

I am just wondering when the producers of "Y & R" are going to reveal that it was really Phyllis that Lauren shot and that "Phyllis" now is Sheila Carter? It would be great for them to do that so that Nick and Sharon could just get back together once and for all!!!!

Or better yet--why not have Nick or Sharon wake up from their dream that Cassie is dead? It was SO WRONG for the producers to kill her off! This would be the perfect way to bring her back and to clear up the Nick/Sharon/Phyllis crap!

Mary W: Babies need to cry to help strengthen the lungs. Unless they are wet or hungry, sometimes they need their own space, let them do their own thing. 24/7 cuddling is not all that good. They sense your love, they hear your voice, and they don't want to be totally spoiled LOL. Crying for a baby, is their way to communicate. Learn the tone/sounds.

Y&R: Have caught bits and pieces. Has not been all that entertaining lately. I do miss Dru with Neil. I think she had "spunk" and was able to keep his role upbeat as well. Because of the economics of the time, I am sure younger actors/actresses will be introduced, even if they are rookies, they need to learn. We have grown accustomed to Catherine, Victor, and others that have played long term. They too bumbled as young newbies! kevin is doing an awesme job as of late.

Someone posted: Who will be pregnant next? I think, Noah and Eden will take that prize. I also wonder, how much it cost Victor for all that viagra? LOL

NC when hiking in Canada (in the nude) avoid at all cost, meeting up with Victor.

NC: As I work the next 48 hrs, I will not be able to wish you a very happy, nude birthday! Make sure Charlie takes you up to your Favorite Mountains, maybe a picnic lunch and a romp near a stream. Happy Birthday ma'm.

What Pinkie says about baby holding is so true. When I worked in the infant lab and the babies would get upset I could take them and sit in a rocker, or walk jiggling them a bit, and with my "inner voices" tell them to feel calm and feel my peace. In contrast, there were certain staff members in our school we'd allow in our little room to hold a baby. These people would be stressed when they came in, but after rocking a baby there got to be a peace between them. Sometimes they wouldn't let me put the sleeping baby in their bed..."more" I need More" they'd say. It's really telling your mind to be calm and let this peace be felt by the baby." Sound like woo woo? maybe it is.

I thought the same thing about Kevin's NOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOO. On Sesame Street there's a little piece about Stella. The character stands outside Stella's window calling STELLLLLLLA STELLLLLLA...very Brando from the Street Car named Desire. Adults listening must always chuckle when they recognize it. There really was a Street Car in New ORleans named Desire. Did you know that?

Isn't Victor showing his years these days? It makes it even more difficult to accept his current role as an expectant father. His grandkids should be having unplanned babies storylines, NOT HIM!!

You two should write mystery novels! I mean that in a good way. Between the two of you, I came up with this: Estella put the tape out in the woods. She has all the opportunities, as she's the only one who walks Zapato. She doesn't like the way Ashley treats her. She behaves nicely, so she'd be the last suspect.

I wasn't surprised chipmunk-man ended up being Kevin himself. BTW, did the actor who plays Kevin wait his whole acting career to yell "NOOOOOO! NOOOOOO!" hundreds of times the past few weeks? That boy has a set of lungs!

So tomorrow is Canadian due day for filing income tax ........... thanks to our current ruling Conservative Party, we can now pension-split our incomes; I'm still too young to file for retirement pension, so technically I have no income. However, with the new ruling that came into effect last year, we can split my husband's yearly income in two, thereby saving ourselves a payment close to $6,000.00 in additional tax. And this is the part that I REALLY LOVE: hubby has to pay $436.00, and I get back $4,689.00.
...................so, VOTE CONSERVATIVE..................
now before I get jumped on for introducing politics into the chatline, I'm only having a bit of fun with my good fortune. And before I have to apologize, I also want to say I suggested to hubby we give the money to his youngest daughter who wants to go back to school (again) to study to be a paramedic. It's all good.

Hubby and I spent the day renewing our passports ....... they should have the ten commandments above the guy taking your photo, with:

Thanks, Emelie, all is now clear. And Kevin is back-Hooray. Now all he's got is a trial for being a bank robber-he ain't out of the woods yet! And, rcsmiley, you hit the nail on the head-it was all part of his hallucinations.

Why is Heather so mad about Sharon not confessing? She's a professional prosecutor and shouldn't get so personally involved in her cases. Doesn't she have any other cases to handle, anyway? (She sure knows how to handle Adam-snicker, snicker).

nurse connie, why don't you come out here to Calif and hike nude on Mt San Jacinto, near where I live. There's even an aerial tramway so you could have an audience! Who needs the Alps, anyway? HQ and I will provide a disrobing room and a free ride to the mountain.

It doesn't seem likely that Adam would have a cd of a crying baby and then climb out of his room to go plant it in the woods. He'd also have to climb back up. I think whoever posted that (can't recall who) was pulling our legs.

MaryW: Babies, toddlers, children, and adults cry to relieve stress--people cry around people whom they feel safest and most accepted by. Feel honored that your daughter feels very safe and secure around you. There's no one like mom! And baby knows you know her better than anyone! Especially when you breastfeed, you and your child are so specially connected. By meeting all her needs, you have made her confident that mom always knows what she needs (even if you may think you don't always)! And remember that at her age she cannot be "spoiled." Good job! She just loves you the most right now. It is common for babies to save their most intense emotions for their primary caregivers and parents. Simply put, they trust you more and are not afraid of releasing their emotions around you. Even at a very young age, babies can tell the difference between mom and dad and everyone else on the planet. It is true that others are often more interesting to a baby just because they offer new sights, sounds, and experiences than the parents do, since most parents concentrate on creating a consistent routine. We are human...sometimes we all just need a good cry! Rest assured that you are being the best mom you can be, and remember that these early months are a phase that will pass very quickly. Soon your daughter will use words! So be encouraged, you are a great mom on a challenging learning curve!

Neil at Chancellor? ... I hope they give him a chance to kick things up a notch. They need to bring in a new strong African American woman for Neil ... or do they? I don't think too many can identify with Tyra, I'm not sure why ... and Olivia has been there, done that. Has Neil had a relationship with anyone in G.C. besides Dru, Olivia and Victoria?

Does anyone think that Nikki and Paul will become a real couple and get married?

Mry W .. re baby crying with you.. relax.. take a deep breath and pick her up with all the confidence you can muster up .. truly dont think about it so much do you hold her high on your shoulder ? they really like being up high .. but held with confidence Not afraid ... there is a baby bouncer/ that vibrate that Babies love the vibration .... do you keep your house real quiet? DONT the nurseries in the hospitals are bright and surly they were not quiet so dont tip toe around her they/she will get use to the noise .. I know its frustrating when your Baby cries and you cant figure out why .. Deep breath in.. blow it out slowly and go for it You can do it.. Best of luck to you

emelie, I was thinking that perhaps he had the laptop out to record a baby crying from a site and then took the recording (or the laptop if it is wireless) out with him to the woods to play it.

If I remember the only doctor that saw Adam was a doctor at the prison that I thought Victor had brought there to evaluate him.

Betty Boop, hope your doing well. It was a beautiful day here today, however the winds picked up this afternoon and evening and we lost power for a few hours. Fireman put the generator on for awhile and he worked hard today replacing a pipe from my mom's well to her basement.

I can't say I pay enough attention to the small exchanges between people, etc. .......... but you may be right on the money with Adam playing the baby crying sound effects from his window ------- although if Ashley could hear it out in the courtyard, wouldn't someone in the house hear it coming from his room?

I don't like this housekeeper ------ she creeps me out. As I typed before, she is like the Omen movie: "Mrs. Baylock".

Charlie has all of our garden planted now and we are already getting onions up and eating them...yummmmm Bought some fresh beans and new little potatoes and had them last night for dinner...there is sooooooooooooo much difference in fresh beans...waiting on first tomatoes now....(*+*)

I'm sooooooooooo upset...they have banned nude hiking in the Alps....and I was so looking forward to a trip there...hehehehehehe

Ok Swine flu...same rule with other flus...wash your hands, cover your mouth if your coughing, if your running a fever STAY HOME, take care of yourself or call your doctor for advice, protect your home and spreading to others...a little bleach in dish water or dishwasher will kill the "bugs"...I routely add a cap full of bleach to most all of my dish water as a general prevention.

Y&R
Saw where Kevin came around...odd see so many people in the padded room...and Glo needs to stay away...she just adds to the issues...IMO
Either the maid and Adam are in the Ashley hearing a bady crying...or together in on it...
Neil fell about 8 points out of my favor with his dealing with the skank...Tyra and she can go to Mexico and treat the swine flu patients as far as I'm concerned...
Nick will go back to Sharon...and you know we still don't know for a fact the Summer is Nick's child or Jack's...
I don't think the mystrey woman is Diane someone else from his past???

I know Adam overheard Ashley and Victor talking one day about her other baby that she lost. Now he excused himself and went up to his room alone even after Heather offered to walk up with him. Then when Heather went up to his room after Ashley screamed she came into the room just as Adam shut the window and she saw his laptop on his desk. He said he had been listening to music on it and that he had opened the window when he heard Ashley scream. Could it be that he somehow has a cd of a baby crying that he somehow played out into the area that Ashley was in and perhaps he had been out in that area and had come back in the window. He has been building up muscles and perhaps could maneuver down and then back up into his room through the window. Maybe Estelle is working with him, because one day when she offered to walk back with him up to his room he said something to her about her not liking Ashley much.

I take from tomorrows little clip at the end of the show today that Phyllis must have got caught on video going into Sharon's room.Now will Nick go with Sharon or stay with Phyllis?

It's a townhouse, interior walls don't have any windows, and the clay was too dark ---------- now the light is bouncing off the walls everywhere, lighting it up incredibly. The more I do, the more I want to do. (should be interesting, as the great room has a 16 ft. high wall in the middle -------- I love a challenge, lol.).

What a great bunch of posters we have at this time!

I am actually going to comment on Y & R!

* Is Estella trying to make people think Ashley is losing her mind and, if so, why? If not Estella, then who?
* Shouldn't Ashley be "showing" soon?
* Is Neil leaving the show? And Karen? And possibly Tyra? Leaving just the "kids" to carry on as the Winters' clan?
* Love Phyllis being charged. She is such a hypocite.
*When Victor told J.T. he "wants her gone" was he talking about Colleen? I like Colleen having more of a front-runner role.
* I think Amber and Kevin will have a bond that will break up their marriages.
*Can anyone tell me WHY Adam, now that he has nothing to lose, has never ratted out Jack?
* Jill doesn't suit the traditional bob hair style. Still has a little funk going on at the back of her head, but needs to keep that edgy look.
* I think the show is definitely moving towards younger actors having the major storylines.

Mary: I agree, I had the same thought about the PR person getting upset when she saw Jack and Sharon hugging. Maybe she was someone from his past, that is why Victor picked her to change looks and use her to get back at him. She hated him in another life. Ha!

I think he and Jill deserve each other. They would end up killing each other, they are both so nasty. I'm not sure why Jack was so mean to Adam, Adam was the one who got caught and Jack escaped. At least he thinks he has. When Victor gets through with him, he may wish he was in prison. He will probably land on his feet just like always though, so the feud can continue!

As far as Kevin and Amber, does anyone think they may "fall" for each other in all this mess? Maybe they already have and nobody has caught on, not even them.

Hi, Betty. Sure I remember you. And I was on the chatroom for a couple of years back in the early 20's, then dropped out (don't recall why) and came back this winter. I think I used to write more interesting posts back then because several people commented that I used to send some interesting stuff, including, which I still don't believe, an article I wrote for a veterans' magazine. Zack let me put the whole thing on here, I guess, and it was several pages long!

Anyway, it's good to hear from you. I have one question- you don't seem to comment much about the show. Have they got you totally fed up, or what? I try to comment mostly about this idiotic soap but find myself branching out into personal stuff, like where I used to work, etc. I better watch my step!

I want to add my sympathy to those who have recently lost family or friends.

We have our cat home on a weekend pass. She has lost so much weight and now hasn't eaten on her own for two weeks. We have to force feed her and give her two meds twice a day. She has been on an IV, so now will have to start drinking, too. When she saw me come in today to take her home, she started "talking" to me and stood up (with difficulty). The vet was astonished. She felt Kato would hopefully improve back in her home envinroment for the weekend.

Today's episode shows the creature with the animal head opening the back door of the ambulance and Kevin jumping out. Now let's think about this for a moment- there was a REAL attendant in the ambulance with Kevin, was there not? Since Kevin is having a hallucination, the animal head was NOT real and therefore could not have opened the door. Are they suggesting that the real attendant went bonkers and opened the door? Or are they suggesting that a hallucinatory creature, not real, managed to open the door? That same scenario would apply if there was no real attendant but I'm pretty sure there was. And Kevin, in a strait jacket, could not have opened the door himself. So this time they have really gone over the edge, or is it me that has?

Maine - Thu Apr 23 22:47:34 MDT 2009

Jean, so very sorry to hear about Dan's mom, we just lost our brother in law back in Feb, from Alzheimers Disease he was only 63.

So very sad to see how little by little the person dies in front of us until they finally do pass. Suddenly the things they did that we thought odd or out of their character make sense to us. Makes one realize how quick things change and to always appreciate what and who we have in our lives.

I lost a close friend who was like a second mom to me a few years back also from Alzheimers. I had worked with this lady and can remember her leaving a task to go do something else for a moment and then not returning to the first task and how some of the other employees made fun of her.When she was diagnosed I thought of that and how that was probably the beginning of her illness. She was the sweetest lady with beautiful skin, lovely white hair, crystal blue eyes, a warm smile and a heart full of kindness. Her husband had given her many heartaches, but she had stayed with him because she was a devout Catholic who wouldn't leave because of her children no matter how much he hurt her and he continued to belittle her and treat her wrongly right up to the day she died. She was about Dan's mother's age when she passed. I truly feel that her husband will never reside where she now is, she earned her wings here on earth.

Our prayers go out to your mother in law and father in law, Dan and you.

MaryBeth and others: The PR gal evidently sees Jack's involvement w/ Sharon(his wife) as debilitating her efforts to demonize Jack's personality. That is, I think she saw Jack's calm, loving side as ruining her efforts to make Jack look bad for Victor's evil plans. Is that right?
Also, I think Jill never had a good childhood and doesn't want anyone else to enjoy life.

Haven't felt like posting because one of our cats (Miss Kato) has been in the vet hospital all week.

Still not eating or drinking on her own, white blood count spiking up.

MaryW: Interesting you mentioned Simon and Paula. I was just going to post they seem to have some chemistry going on and I wouldn't be surprised to read about them in the tabloids after the season is over. I did read somewhere that after Simon broke up with his girlfriend he did ask Paula out for dinner, but she wasn't saying much about it to the media.

MaryW, children are so interesting at every age, and they all are different. Keeping the same sweet age would never work. My second son always said the funniest things when he was in middle school, and he didn't know he was being funny. The oldest quit talking in middle school, and was quiet every day after that. He now says the most educated opinions on life and politics and parenting. Enjoy each day, you never want to miss a moment.

Jean, so sorry about your MIL. There are challenges ahead for sure. Do Dan's siblings stay close? IT's been so hard on my husband, as the only child left to help.

WILLIE...Raul was a friend of Billy, Brittany, and Mac, and JT. Raul Guiteriz, came down with diabetes in one storyline. HE was always a very nice guy character. He's supposed to be here a few shows, but has a part on General Hospital or one of those not on CBS.
We don't see much of Victoria or her little one do we?Guess the baby is upstairs.
Can we ever forget all the mean stuff Phyllis has wrought on others? She's been a very good actress, and so were the others who played her part.
BUT NOW JILL...its only the past couple of years she calmed down to be a reasonable person. I always thought she must have real bad problems with PMS or was bipolar.She would just go off on people. SHE said the meanest things to MRs. Foster, the woman who raised her as her own....and she was real mean to Mrs. Chancellor and Nina who was her daughter in law. She never thought she was good enough for her little spoiled rotten son.Even her boyfriends had to do just as she wished or she'd explode.
MaryBeth
- Thu Apr 23 15:29:25 MDT 2009

Who is this Raul some of you are talking about? He's not on now, is he? Is he a retread?

They have turned Jill into a real witch. First, she's so sure Catherine is a fake. Now that she's been proven wrong about that, she's taking off on poor Murph, stating he only wants to move into the big mansion. They have made her so obviously awful that it's hard to suspend disbelief and consider her a real person. When I watch her, I think of an actress doing her lines. Too heavy-handed.

Whoever it was who commented on how differently Michael treats Sharon than Kevin has a good point. It's obvious Sharon is mentally off and needs care.

Does anybody have any idea about what this PR gal who really works for Victor is supposed to really be doing?

MaryW...Teething is a breeze compared to teenage years! LOL Seriously, it's all good....every age, every new experience with your daughter! And I didn't even take Alex's picture until she was a day old. And we didn't get a camcorder til she was about a year old. Don't stress over that. You'll definitely have enough pictures of her at all ages.

**SORRY for long post!**

Jean--two things: AI; My faves are Adam, Kris and Matt--SO glad he got saved. I thought it was awesome that the whole crowd was chanting SAVE SAVE! Jean have you noticed the flirting between Simon and Paula really kicked up a notch this season??

Also Jean, if it's not too painful to talk about, can you tell me again what took your dog so quickly? I'm always looking for symptoms in my dogs; knowledge is power and the more you learn about other people's pets the more you can be prepared for if it ever happens to your pet. You said it was something with the liver?

Pinkie your dog that ate chocolate lived to be 17? I thought chocolate was toxic to dogs.

I was watching Oprah on Earth Day, did you know that whales are now getting cancer because of all the crap we're dumping into the ocean? I got really really depressed after I heard that, because I feel like there's nothing I can do about it except of course recycling.

Emelie I LOLed when I read your comparison of "Damien's Keeper/Nanny" from the Omen with Estella--right on the money with that comparison. She is creepy.

I am such a bad mom. I can't seem to get caught up on things. Do you know I haven't even been to the store to buy a videotape yet so that I can videotape her? I didn't even videotape her first day at home! :-( Although, my family did video and took lots of pictures.

Ladybug--I used to think post partum depression was for wimps, boy was I wrong. You just can't know about something until you experience it yourself. I think I have had a little PPD myself. I think it's mostly sleep deprivation, which makes you have crazy thoughts, like, why did I do this? Which, for me, I couldn't believe that thought crossed my mind because I was infertile for so many years. So I look at mothers who go through that totally different now.

Ladybug VERY good point about Michael's hypocrisy in his treatment of Sharon vs. Kevin; Michael will do anything for his family though; Kevin because he feels so guilty about leaving him with terrible tom, and he relates to Eden and defends her against anything probably because they both share the fact that they have a deadbeat dad that left them.

Dans mother went to the doctor and was diagnosed (sp?) with Alzheimers. Long story short....they asked her, what day is it, and she didn't know. Asked her what year it was and she said 1967. YIKES. Asked her to fold the newspaper and lay it on the floor. She folded it and handed it back to the doctor!!!!! Poor Dan, he has gotten doubled wammied this last week.

Y&R - okay first I will say that I do like the new Mac.....yes Ashley B (old Mac only smiled when she would see Billy). So she probably did study up on old tapes. And where in the world would Adam go if he gets the bracelet off?? Does he have any money, etc, etc. Agree about Michael regarding the different treatment between Sharon and Kevin. He is a lawyer and should not be judgemental. He is letting Lauren get to him. Yeah, Victors whatever she is creeps me out too. She has an agenda I believe. Maybe she will push Ashley down the stairs and blame Adam?????

American Idol - it gets down to this now.....whos CD would you buy??? Most bore the hell out of me. I would go to sleep at the wheel. For example Danny has a good voice, but to me is boring. Adam in Paula's words can sing the phone book, I mean anything. Top four for me - Adam, Danny, Kris, Alison. Lil, Anoop, Matt have to go. JMO

NC - Belle is lonely, but I have been giving her chew bones and taking her for long walks. I think it is helping. She is eating fine. Don't even have a notion to buy another dog. Belle is probably doing better than me.

Mary W: I'm so glad you are doing well. My daughter admitted to me, long after the fact, that she did not enjoy the infant period of having a baby at all. She also had post-partum depression and didn't know it. Amazing that with all the info out there it's actually possible to be in it...and not know what's wrong. But, it all only lasted about 6 months and then the fog lifted and everything has been sunshine and blue skies.

NC: I'm in Virginia...the center of the universe...or so the natives say.

I think it was rather thoughtless of Michael to not give Sharon a break. So, he doesn't understand that a person can be mentally unstable and commit crimes without knowing it???? Isn't that his case to defend Kevin??? Oh the inconsistency....

Mac is starting to grow on me. Maybe a friendship with Amber will bring a little life to her personality. I did really like the old Mac, but she was quiet and serious as well. So maybe this one studied old tapes to get the feel of the character.

I agree about the leg iron. He isn't a great big guy to start with, so there wouldn't be a lot of fat to lose around his ankle. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone rejoiceing (sp?) because they lost an inch off their foot!!, lol. or went down 2 shoe sizes. Sometimes I think these writers are on something.

Victor's "assistant" ......... creeps me out. She reminds me of the housekeeper/nanny, "Mrs. Blalock" in The Omen.

Duh....Mary Maine, OF COURSE that's what he's doing. I'm so dumb sometimes. It is an old ploy. I remember when Ted Bundy lost enough weight to excape from a Colorado jail.

Jam, is there a candy treat at Hallmark, you just cannot resist? I hope you had fun with Curt, and that things are going good with him and his gf. She was having health problems after the car accident. Is she well?

We are being treated to really nice weather. Nora keeps begging to "go out". She loves throwing Jim's mulch rock. He doesn't like people getting the small rocks and bigger rocks mixed, but he lets Nora do whatever she wants. Oh she's on the verge of walking alone. IT's such an amazing big step for her, and she won't need her walker. Then after she gets to walking at the end of the summer, she'll have to have some foot surgery. BUT we'll enjoy her running all summer.

i am intrigued by the adam story -- did not realize he's trying to escape his anklet by losing weight -- it seems impossible to lose that much weight in one's ankle and foot ???

i think it will be good to see raul again . . .

I think Adam is trying to loose enough weight (soap world) to get the leg alarm off, because it showed him exercising one day and then trying to tug at the cuff, when it didn't work he went back to push ups.

The lady working at the ranch was introduced as Victor's assistant on one show way back, so I took it she is his go for it girl and I think we were supposed to assume she had worked for Victor for some time as she knew Nikki very well as well as Sabrina and she went to Nikki for help with getting the workers their jobs back.

I also read on one site where a bunch of actors form Y & R and other soaps from all the channels are going on a tour, I looked up my state and find Cane will be coming here, but with a bunch of others from other programs I don't watch so I guess I'm not interested, however they are switching the line up for all the tour dates so keep your eyes open and they may be coming near you, but it costs about $80.00.

Finally, poor Kevin broke out of his delirium, with Amber's help of course. Though I sure his wife (what's her name?) prefers it was her instead. I just hope she's still alive when Kev comes out it.

lady bug, that name isn't familiar. And we ate at the Macchus Red Fox many times. It was just around the corner and down the block from where we lived, backing up to the north course of the golf club whose name I've forgotten. We used to get golf balls in our swimming pool regularly.

nicole, couldn't agree with you more. This Mac is absolutely the wrong actress for this part. She has no spark at all and is definitely too old. Somebody must have owed somebody something is all I can think could have caused this casting.

Those who are fed up with Phyllis- may I join the club? On top of all her usual shenanigans, she has told Nick a bald-faced lie about Sharon's room being tossed. I think Nick has to go help Sharon fight her problem and let Phyllis go somewhere else. Only problem is the baby. What there?

Speaking of Sharon, when is she or somebody going to get her to go to a shrink? If it isn't obvious she needs professional help, it never will be!

And Jack seems to have forgotten that Adam could possibly put him in the clink. His cavalier and nasty attitude toward Adam may well come back to haunt him. Bye now.

AND SURELY he could be a blind lawyer, there's more than one of them around this world. What's with his not eating and doing exercises.. His pecks are great but wouldn't he need some nutrition too?

Willie ....... thanks for sharing your story about Princess with us. I'm so angry that the vet handled your situation with Princess so callously. As you say, we all have pets and we endure such a wrenching of our feelings when they have to depart. Sometimes I wonder if I am nuts, but Don and I declined to go on a winter vacation this year because of our dogs .......... they're both ageing and ill, and we could lose either one of them "just like that" ------ so we have opted to be here with them right to the last minute. When Miss Tippy was diagnosed with inoperable liver cancer 2.5 years ago, we took her blanket with us to the vet clinic out in the country, and after the clinic closed we all (Don, myself, the vet, and the clinic staff) sat on Tippy's blanket with her, under a towering old Maple tree, and cradled her as she went gently to sleep. Although it is a two hour drive for us now to stay with that vet, we continue to take our dogs Molly and Duke for their checkups and meds. And when their time is up, we're hoping that we can return to the same tree for their final moments. Silly, maybe, but I like to think that all three dogs can spend their "final moments" together, and be with the same veterinary staff that they've gone to for ten years.

No doubt some people think I'm nuts...... well, maybe they're right.

Mary W says we've all been there with our beloved pets' last moments. Here's my story:

In the 60's, our family had a little miniature pinscher named Princess. We got her as a puppy and we raised her along with our 3 boys. When I would get home from work, she would position herself in front of me and start jumping madly up and down, getting a head pat on every up-stroke. This went on until she got too ill to drag her little body toward me.

In 1971, I got a promotion to assistant manager of an insurance company affiliated with the Michigan Credit Union League whth promise of elevation to manager within 6 months but which turned out to be not nearly as great as advertised but that's another story.

Shortly after we moved to Southfield, Mich, Princess got very ill and we decided we had to put her down. After family goodbyes (which were what you-all could imagine) I took her to a vet few blocks away.

When I got there, I discovered I had brought our old Calif. checkbook from a now-closed account, so I told the vet to wait until I got back with the right one. A few minutes later, I returned to discover that while I had been gone, he had done the awful deed, so I never got a chance to say goodbye to Princess. I reamed him up one side and down the other, to the point where I thought he would call the cops but finally just left. What was the point, right?

So I understand just how anyone feels who has had to put a pet down.

Willie, I see from one site that the old Mac left to finish high school and then went on to college and from the last bit of information it said she was studying to be a plastic surgeon like her dad is.

Since Mary W mentioned that the original Mac was Ashley Bashioum, I googled her and by golly, she's the one! The Mac that HQ and I really thought was great in the part. So how do we plot to get her back? She still seems to be acting, I think.

And you're right about the lack of passion-no rolling in the hay or ripping off clothing before sinking out of view on a couch or whatever. But very deeply felt love.

Y&R - I loved the old Billy and Mac.....teen love. New Mac, what is up with the hair.

Sorry I haven't kept up with the posts.....my Buffy is dieing of liver failure and don't think she will make it thru the night. No warning, just got sick on Wed night, and down hill from there. Don't need any sympathy, just telling you why I have not posted. Thank goodness we were back home. She is my baby.

There was actually a second set of Billy/Mac actors (a set that was not David Tom or Ashley Bashiom) that played the pair when they found out they were cousins and had to break up. A forgettable pair, I might add; I had forgotten all about them until I saw a picture of them in SOD the other day. The David Tom/Ashley Bashiom pair, I think, was the most memorable Billy/Mac.

And Mary Beth I don't remember the original pair being passionate, I just remember them as a cute, sweet couple that were very much in love and went to prom together, etc. I'm certain they showed nothing more than those two kissing sweetly and that's about it.

So, we are on our third pair of actors who have played these roles. I think this Billy is great and Mac, OK so far. She does really look like her mom which someone already pointed out.

And for anyone keeping tabs (sorry gentlemen for what I'm about to say) Claire is doing better and less fussy since I have almost phased out the bottle completely and switched to about 95% of the time breast feeding from the *puppies*! (I'm assuming less air--less gas that way). I was frustrated with that before and I wasn't trying hard enough to get her to latch, (and it was so much easier to just give her the bottle), but we've got it now!

OH my, remember the comments about Ashley Bashiom (old mac)not ever cracking a smile? I don't remember the Billy/mac story being so passionate, does anyone else? They got married and had to break up and it all seemed so "storyline induced".I think she's way underacting, but I also think she needs some more color in her face.
Those old pix of Jill make her look very different..and at grocery stor it said Jill was ready to just leave....couldn't find the rest of the story before we checked out.Frankly we need some ACTION the stories are moving sooooo slow again.

I have pierced ears, one in each ear. I got it done when I was a Senior in h.s.1965. Was the first in my group to do it...we did the piercing with a needle and ice, and I pierced many ears for other people.Have to agree that no-nickle earrings made all the difference to heal the ears. When I worked in the delivery room there were several ethnic moms who wanted ears pierced at birth, put gold hoops right in or loops of thread. I usually wear hoops or wires now. Sometimes when really dressed up to sparkle I have some clips I wear.

Jean, did you still have good coffee on the Royal Carribbean? I told husband about how long your wait to disembark was. He's never patienct waiting, and since he was a school administrator... where ever we go he's always talking about how this or that could work a lot better.Sometimes there's no other way to do it than just wait!

Fireman, my wife, known hereon as HQ (for good reason) never had her ears pierced and wears her clip-ons all the time, when called-for.

Neil and Karen's story line is going toward divorce, methinks, and I believe you're right about the writers trying to interest younger viewers. Us old flatulence types are just along for the ride but as long as we have Catherine, as you rightly point out, we'll be OK.

Totsie, I agree about Mac. She's just too unlike "our" Mac. I remember her fondly, even the way her mouth turned down at the ends. I looked her up on the Net at the time but now can't even remember her name!

I used to like Cane but the way they have him pursuing custody is really stupid. If they end up letting him have even partial custody, it will be total idiocy!

Hi friends! I always watch the show on-line now. Love not sitting through the endless commercials. I still need to watch yesterdays show, will catch up on the weekend. Glad everyone is enjoying their vacations. I feel like I live in a vacation being so close to the beach. I had a perfect beach afternoon yesterday, found about 200 agates and a dozen pieces of seaglass. weather was perfect too. I have to work all day today so have to wait till the week-end for more vacation.
James had surgery last week because his kidney stones were stuck and cutting off his left kidney. It was done with a scope and he was in and out in one day. They left a stent in for a couple days, he hated that. All better now and back to work.
I can't stand the new Mac, maybe she will grow on me but she is too different from the Mac we loved in the past. Too old and too tall.JMO. Love Billy, hate Cane, he creeps me out for some reason the way he hovered over Delia when he held her
Catherine is looking great, I think the print on her blazer is called houndstooth. My rubber knee high boots I wear to the beach are black and white houndstooth and really ugly but I love being able to plow through the surf and keep dry. Take care and have fun this weekend.

MaryBeth and MaryW - thinking of you both today of hearing of your snowy weather and it soooooooooo beautiful here...to get in low 70's today...

MaryW the electric flickers mostly and that is were the tree limbs need to be cut more...the city and county crews have been doing this and haven't gotten to our area yet...but we do have a back up generator now and that makes me feel a lot safer.

Has cactus gotten back yet? I think she is the only one left that was vacationing...

adb ok what do you call your doggie? Roxie Belle...Rox...Roxie...Belle...Bellie????

Charlie has about another weeks worth of finishing touches on the trailor and it will be ready to rent...crossing my fingers we get a good renter...
Off to dinner with some former co-workers tonight...I think we decided on Wasabi's...yummmmmmm

Glad you are back Toots. What did you eat that was the best of all?

I hope MaryW and Claire are doing better at dancing in the dark and the bubbles in the tummy are better.I'll bet MaryW never thought her little one would need a winter coat this year but she'll need a blanky for sure.We are having a spring storm, it's rained for 24 hrs, and now the sleet has started. Our grass already looks greener.

Seems like a good movie day.

So proms are starting here. My neice is a senior and her BF is in college but she's going with some girls anyway. Between her and her sister they have accumulated quite a few formal dresses.
My youngest sister said she'd gone to prom about 25 times. I thought how did you do that? OH YEA, her husband of 20 years was a high school principal and teacher and coach...in Kansas. She says she hates blue jello, and I remember from our proms in small towns that I don't like blue carnations too much. The kids all look so nice and clean. The small towns usually have dinner too, so the kids aren't driving too far to eat. They made rooms inside big gymnasiums with boards and chicken wire and lots of crepe paper.Adults would skulk around peering inside the dancefloor. OH and I also remember when they started getting dj's instead of bands, who often stiffed them and didn't show up. Dj's usally came.

Better get back to 'real time' and real world of soap opera. LOL

Y&R: Catherine, Still plays a wonderful part. Mary and I are amazed at how good she still looks at 80. Do any of you remember when she had a face lift, actually worked into the show? She will die on the show, (figure of speech).
Acting, has become, for the younger set, all about fame and money. I will never believe there will be, "Real actors/actresses" as we have seen in the past. Many could learn from Catherine. She dresses so simple, gingham jacket, pearl necklace and I do believe, clip on ear rings! HOW NOVEL!

Question: How many still wear clip on ear rings vs. pierced? LOL (ear rings) only.

Where is Neil and Karen's story line going?

There will have to be more on Jill and her heritage. The writers are leaving it wide open at this point.

Thinking as an older generation person, are some of us missing the writers intent, to bring younger generation viewers, to the show?

As the old adage goes, "We can all moan and groan" but it means nothing unless we can recommend a solution.

Nice day iin Maine - Thu Apr 16 19:25:21 MDT 2009

Willie: Long-fingered thou art, but that's ok. You all make good sense. It has been a long time for me; only visited an aunt and uncle on 58th street until 1984. Only remember the station was on 4th Avenue (by the luncheonette/ice cream parlor).
MaryBeth: I agree. Phyllis is a whack job and Sharon's going nuts. But as you said, they both cheated on their spouses and they can't trust each other (nor can anybody else, as I'm sure you've all seen). Oh, and did you hear Kevin say "Mac" after she left? Maybe she'll help break his "fetal" state of mind?

Mary W, I actually lived in Brooklyn and Queens but worked in Manhattan. And it wasn't too glorious for me, in my life after the army until marriage, a working stiff who rode jammed subways twice a day and didn't make enough money to see many Broadway shows. But my earlier years, from around 8 to my teens was very interesting. I spent a lot of time just riding the subways, always looking out the front window to see what the engineer saw, riding the Staten Island ferry for a nickel, going to the old Aquarium at Battery Park and the Museum of Natural History where I admired the dinosaur skeletons. And the Metropolitan Museum had a great collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts. I did all this stuff on my own, a young boy riding all over the place with never any thought of kidnapping or molestation. It sure was a different world (better in many ways!)

rcsmiley, didn't the 4th avenue line run up 9th st in Bklyn? I used to live on 10th st, between 6th and 7th aves and took that line to work b4 marriage. Still very glad we moved to Calif in 1970. Our oldest son had been drafted out of high school by the Angels and spent 2 yrs in the minors b4 being dumped. Has done much better as a stockbroker (until recently!).

About Y&R- Phyllis is such a total liar and psycho! Hard to watch her any more. But hey- they're all weird in some ways, including the almost casual way they're treating Eden and Noah having sex at 16. Is this sort of stuff becoming the noem in our society?

Sorry for being so long-fingered!
Willie
- Thu Apr 16 13:52:23 MDT 2009

Phyllis is a crazy-crazy, but Sharon and Nick both cheated on their spouses. Cheaters don't hold the moral ground.

Willie - Yes! Yes! And wouldn't Mikey have been at that meeting with the judge, the DA and Heather, where Kevin's initial course of treatment was determined?

Heather is nothing like her mother. Heather comes across as so hateful.

Clementine Ford looks just like her mother. I wonder if they Mac bags under her eyes to make her look world-weary from being in Darfur? I don't know yet if she's a better actress than her mother, as she's only said all of two words on the show. I thought Mac would be the one person Kevin trusted.

I loved Karen's lavender wrapped to today, the one she word that the GCAC.

THanks, that's right Mary, I forgot all that was going on there. I wanted a good New ORleans mystery, in NOLA...love mystery stories from there.

Mary
Maine - Wed Apr 15 22:17:38 MDT 2009

I do think Mikey has way too many people depending on him. It must have been hard to say no to Phyllis when she called during her meltdown. Months ago there was a spoiler for the future that said he'd find out more about his New Orleans Grandmother. Did that ever happen? I hate to see Phyllis so stressed, when she gets boxed in a corner, she makes very bad decisions. And how many magazines do more than one cover? Very few I'd say. Katherine's covers are interesting, but can someone tell me why???? Why ELizabeth? Fashion Statement?

Ahh thank you Mary, it was DRU that got happy with the scissors, that's right.

Willie I bet living in Manhattan in the 50's was a glorious time. I think of all the movies that were made around that time and area like, you know, the one with Marilyn Monroe's dress going up from the subway, etc. Just seems like a neat place to be at that time. I think Frank Sinatra was brought up in that area too?

Michael being pulled in all sorts of directions, like a piece of taffy.

adb wow what a blast from the past, I had almost forgotten about John Silva.

willie -- i, too, cannot stand the way legal scenes are represented on the show -- always had to fast forward when victor yelled at john silva demanding he do this or that -- i think raphael is the new john silva

anyone facing the horrors that michael faces every time he turns around would have contemplated hari-kari by now, IMO . . . must all seem like one big nightmare to this sleep deprived character

i cannot bear to watch the scenes with kevin all curled up in the fetal position -- but while FF'ing today i couldn't help but notice that the easter bunny was in the padded cell with kevin -- gloria as the easter bunny actually made me LOL, but it did not add any relief (comic or otherwise) to what is happening to kevin in this story line -- too grusome for me . . .

jean -- glad to "see" the cruise was good -- ha ! -- i bet YOU lost ten pounds -- am i right ?? -- so gentle seas may mean that the four of us can actually cruise some time . . . would still love that

alrighty then --

I get a kick out of the public speaking announcements that Nick and today Lauren did about kids having sex, seems like Nick could use some help with that subject himself! Even adults should use common sense, birth control and disease prevention, not commit adultery, and not mess with people's hearts when they are having emotional problems. At least the kids used protection, maybe they should teach the adults. Poor Noah doesn't know what home he is living in from minute to minute or who is his step dad or mom from moment to moment.

This should get him some Emmy nods surely.So kids are supposed to pop the cherry by 16 huh? I'm thinking they'll be birthin some babies with all the sleeping around that's going on.

Hey, gang! Frankly, I think Kevin's condition is more serious than these dumb characters are written to believe(just to keep this in perspective). Poor Kev could go suicidal, and then what would hard-nosed Heather do to prove her case? Michael must be allowed to help, I think. But he's pulled from 3 ways and supposed to be the savior of GC.

VaBch, VA - Tue Apr 14 17:49:51 MDT 2009

rcsmiley, I'm all puffed up knowing that I was right about you and good old NYC! HQ and I were raised in Brooklyn and Queens respectively, and we met while both working for an insurance agency on 42nd St in Manhattan. This was in the 50's, long before your time.

I'm afraid you've left yourself wide open for a continuing bunch of reminiscences (?). I lived in Brooklyn beginning in 1930 at age 6 and ending in 1950 when I married and we lived at HQ's mother's place in Glendale, Queens for 3 years. We finally bought a house in Park Ridge, NJ in 1956 and moved to Calif in 1970. But enough about that-I have other fish to fry.

What the hell are they doing about Kevin? Is he going to get evaluated and have some meaningful treatment? And Heather seems to always be on the wrong side of every plot
